Two major groups of bats that use echolocation have different structures for connecting the inner ear to the brain, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Chicago, the American ...

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 ...

April 3 (UPI) --New research suggests inner ear morphology can trace the dispersion of early humans out of Africa and across the globe. Using computed tomography, researchers collected high-resolution ...

Finite element modeling has emerged as an essential tool in understanding the complex biomechanics of the middle ear. By discretising the intricate anatomical structures—such as the tympanic membrane ...

The World Health Organization reports that 360 million people worldwide are affected by hearing loss, generally caused by disease, accidents or damage to middle-ear structures. Researchers at ...

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 ...
