Physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of 'modes' within the human ear that put important constraints on how the ear amplifies faint sounds, tolerates noisy blasts, and ...
The vibration of these bones causes the fluid inside the cochlea to move, mimicking the sound waves in the air outside the ear. If you unrolled a mouse cochlea, it would be about 6 millimeters long, ...
But whether it's the sound of chickens or my beautiful voice, it all enters your ear through the cochlea, a shell-like structure in the inner ear. Inside the cochlea there are over 16,000 hairlike ...
The illustration shows a cross-section of part of the cochlea, the fluid-filled part of the inner ear that converts vibrations from incoming sounds into nerve signals that travel to the brain via ...
The Rivolta laboratory is dedicated to study the biology and behaviour of auditory stem cells (primarily human) and to explore their potential to regenerate the damaged inner ear. Hearing loss has ...
