The Sennheisers look and feel expensive, from the fabric of the case to the feeling you get when you securely mount the buds ...

Sketches offer glimpse into Neanderthals' lives in Gibraltar 03:57. A fossil of the inner ear of a six-year-old Neanderthal child that showed signs of Down syndrome seems to indicate that the ...

"This distinctive inner ear anatomy reflects enhanced sensitivity and more rapid response to head motions," co-author John Flynn says in a press release.

But the new results based on inner-ear anatomy appear to be “robust,” Panciroli says—especially because the same relationship between SDS and body temperature can be observed in living species.

The contribution of Karoo fossils. The team found that the inner ear canals' geometry adapted to a relatively abrupt change in endolymph viscosity some 233 million years ago, indicating that the ...

The fossil, preserving the complete inner ear anatomy, was excavated in 1989 but its significance was not recognized until recently. It is a fragment of one of the two temporal bones ...

Dear J.B.: First, let’s review the anatomy. The ear has three components: the inner ear where the organs of balance and hearing are; the outer ear that includes the ear canal all the way to the ...

To help pin down the metabolic mystery, the group of paleontologists tapped a surprising piece of anatomy: the inner ear—the shape of which is influenced by an animal’s body temperature.

The team found that the inner ear canals geometry adapted to a relatively abrupt change in endolymph viscosity some 233 million years ago, indicating that the overall body temperature of mammal ...
