"Until now, there was no way to observe the internal structure of the cochlea non-destructively with high resolution," said Serita. "A key innovation in our work was the use of a nonlinear optical ...

A cutting-edge study reveals how terahertz (THz) imaging technology has unlocked a new way to peer inside the intricate ...

In the depths of your inner ear lies one of biology’s most intricate sound systems. A new discovery reveals that the cochlea ...

The study successfully demonstrated the first THz imaging of the internal structure of the mouse cochlea. The imaging technique provided clear structural information at varying depths, enabling ...

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 ...

The illustration shows a cross-section of part of the cochlea, the fluid-filled part of the inner ear that converts vibrations from incoming sounds into nerve signals that travel to the brain via ...
