Our lab uses the inner ear as a model system to address fundamental questions in developmental biology and regeneration. The transformation of a simple piece of epithelium - the otic placode - into a ...

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, ...

When sound waves reach the inner ear, neurons there pick up ... When the team degraded the timing of the spikes in the simulated ear, however, their model could no longer match humans' ability ...
