Where hearing starts: the development of the mammalian cochlea
The mammalian cochlea is a remarkable sensory organ, capable of perceiving sound over a
range of 1012 in pressure, and discriminating both infrasonic and ultrasonic frequencies in …

Spiral form of the human cochlea results from spatial constraints
The human inner ear has an intricate spiral shape often compared to shells of mollusks,
particularly to the nautilus shell. It has inspired many functional hearing theories. The …

It's not black or white—on the range of vision and echolocation in echolocating bats
Around 1000 species of bats in the world use echolocation to navigate, orient, and detect
insect prey. Many of these bats emerge from their roost at dusk and start foraging when there …
