Researchers have demonstrated that a genetic switch for organ regeneration exists, after restoring damaged outer ears in mice ...

We were trying to learn how certain animals lost their regeneration capacity during evolution and then put back the ...

Our animal inheritance: Humans perk up their ears, too, when they hear interesting sounds Date: July 7, 2020 Source: Saarland University Summary: Many animals move their ears to better focus their ...

Animal ears come in all shapes and sizes. How do these design details affect hearing? Make replicas and test them out on your own ears--see if they give you super hearing!

Can You Hear Me Now? What Whale Ears Have That Ours Don't For one, ears that "float" inside a whale's head allow it to figure out where sounds are coming from underwater.

The triangular shape of a cat’s outer ears is called the pinna, and the small fold (or pocket) on the outside of the pinna is called Henry’s Pocket.

The auricular muscles helped change the shape of the shell–or pinna–of the ear and helped humans living millions of years ago listen closely.

Research led by the National Institute of Biological Sciences in Beijing has discovered that switching on a single dormant ...

The external part of the ear in humans and other mammals is known as the pinna; in many animals adept at hunting, or liable to be hunted, pinna movements and eye movements often accompany one ...

Ear (aural) hematomas occur when blood vessels in the pinna rupture secondary to trauma or excessive head shaking. Blood fills the space between the skin and the cartilage, causing pain and ...

Thought to be pretty redundant in modern humans outside of wiggling our ears for a giggle, new research has revealed that certain ear muscles that let animals and our ancient ancestors move their ...
