Yale physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of "modes" within the human ear that put important ...

The presence of two types of hair cells, the inner and outer hair cells, in the organ of Corti was appreciated nearly a 100 years ago but the function of the two has only become clear in the last 20 ...

Yale physicists uncover a new set of hearing modes in the human ear, revealing complex cochlear mechanics that enhance sound ...

Top: Rows of healthy sensory hair cells in the mouse inner ear with green stereocilia arcs. Middle: In Rest mutant mice, hair cells are disorganized, and stereocilia barely visible. Bottom ...

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 inner hair cells are arranged in a single row and remain free to respond to movement of endolymph in the cochlear duct. The outer hair cells are arranged in 3 rows in the basal coil of the ...

The sensory receptors of the mammalian auditory system, the inner hair cells (IHCs), do this with unparalleled temporal precision (kHz ... the only one in the world that routinely uses ...

Furthermore, “not all patients qualify for cochlear implant surgery, so regeneration of hair cells, either through drug treatment, stem cells or gene therapy, is considered to be the ultimate ...

Hearing loss has substantial personal, social and economic implications. It is most commonly caused by damage to the sensory hair cells and/or the auditory neurons in the cochlea. One possible ...
