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

The organ of Corti – the hearing organ of the inner ear - forms from a ribbon of progenitor cells running the length of the cochlear duct, termed the prosensory domain. Starting at about embryonic day ...

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

The hearing organ in mammals is a spiraling structure called the "cochlea" from the Greek word for snail. It spirals out from the saccule (one of the balance organs). There are two and a half turns in ...

Yale researchers discovered new cochlear hearing modes that influence how the ear amplifies sound and processes frequencies.

low-frequency sounds vibrate membrane at apex of the cochlear duct. The organ of Corti. Within the cochlear duct is the spiral Organ of Corti, which contains the receptor cell for hearing (Fig.

Yale 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, ...
