A new article compares the inner ear structures of the two main groups of bats. By examining the microscopic inner ears of bats from 19 of the 21 known bat families, the researchers were able to show ...

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 ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered how a specific type of cell in the inner ear plays a commanding role in shaping the cellular landscape of the organ responsible for hearing, according ...
