The research, published this week in Nature, provides the first anatomical evidence of two distinctive inner ear structures used for processing bats’ echolocation signals. The study confirms ...

Scientists have revealed in near-atomic detail the structure of the key part of the inner ear responsible for hearing. The findings could point the way toward developing new treatments for hearing ...

"By disseminating this study data via the gEAR, we are creating an 'encyclopedia' of the genes expressed in the developing inner ear, transforming the knowledge base of our field and making this ...

Lots of bats echolocate-- they emit high-pitched squeaks, and based on how those sound waves bounce off their surroundings, they're able to navigate in the dark and find insects to eat. But a lot ...

If paleontologists had a wish list, it would almost certainly include insights into two particular phenomena: how dinosaurs interacted with each other and how they began to fly. The problem is, using ...

Studying the inner ear of apes and humans could uncover new information on our species' evolutionary relationships, suggests a new study. Studying the inner ear of apes and humans could uncover new ...
