The cochlear labyrinth is the portion of the inner ear that contains the cochlear duct and the perilymphatic space, which is located between the boney and membranous parts of the inner ear.

They found that animals with a long cochlear duct tended to have the best hearing and vocal ability. Modern bird species are known to possess relatively longer cochlear ducts than living reptiles. A ...

The authors observed an increase in the volume of endolymph, the fluid within the cochlear duct, during the 3 hours following exposure to the blast wave. Seven days after blast exposure ...

How does the mature cochlear duct develop? The embryonic prosensory domain – destined to give rise to the organ of Corti - is bounded on its neural side by a thickened epithelial structure known as ...

The cochlear duct extends from the osseous spiral lamina to the wall of the cochlea (Fig. 1B). Its roof is formed by the vestibular (Reissner's) membrane, which separates it from the scala vestibuli.

3D inner ear. In addition to the cochlear duct, important parts of the inner ear include the cavernous extensions at the outer end of the cochlear duct known as sacculus and utriculus.

The team also used the setup to successfully carry out 3D terahertz time-of-flight imaging and 3D reconstruction, allowing visualization of part of the cochlear duct, the spiral structure inside ...

Elaborate 3D analysis of the inner ear now, for the first time, provide insights into volume changes of special structures in sufferers of the so-called Ménière's disease.

An estimated 8 million women in the US have difficulty hearing, and 2 million of those are able to hear, at best, only shouted words. Women of all ages have better hearing than men at frequencies ...
