As a treatment, they applied gentle electrical pulses to the outer ears of the mice in order to ... "This stimulation activates the brain–gut axis through the vagus nerve, which can control ...

The auditory nerve that relays information from sound-detecting hair cells in the ear to the brain generates electrical spikes that correspond to the frequency of these oscillations. "The action ...

When it comes to the physics of hearing, researchers know that when sound reaches the cochlea, it is converted into electrical signals. Auditory hairs in the cochlea pass along the signals and ...

Researchers have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they have been able to follow the ...

His goal at that stage was to become an ear ... to study brain physiology.” At this point Dr Clark began turning his attention to the seemingly impossible task of creating an electrical device ...

Electrical pulses from the pons often target the part of the brain that controls muscles in the eyes and ears. Our lids usually remain shut, but our eyeballs bounce from side to side, possibly in ...
