PDF-(EBOOK)-The Cochlea (Springer Handbook of Auditory Research 8)

Knowledge about the structure and function of the inner ear is vital to an understanding of vertebrate hearing This volume presents a detailed overview of the mammalian cochlea from its anatomy and physiology to its biophysics and biochemistry The nine review chapters written by internationally distinguished auditory researchers provide a detailed and unified introduction to sound processing in the cochlea and the steps by which the ensuing signals are prepared for the central nervous system. 6. th.

Ears are sense organs that respond to sound.. Your ear converts sound waves into nerve impulses that your brain interprets.. The ear’s structure is designed to receive and transmit the sound waves..

The Road Ahead: . 6.1.1 . Explain how the external ear and middle ear capture and concentrate sound energy and convey it to the inner ear.. The function of vertebrate hearing is served by a surprising variety of sensory structures in the different groups of fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. This book discusses the origin, specialization, and functional properties of sensory hair cells, beginning with environmental constraints on acoustic systems and addressing in detail the evolutionary history behind modern structure and function in the vertebrate ear. Taking a comparative approach, chapters are devoted to each of the vertebrate groups, outlining the transition to land existence and the further parallel and independent adaptations of amniotic groups living in air. The volume explores in depth the specific properties of hair cells that allowed them to become sensitive to sound and capable of analyzing sounds into their respective frequency components. Evolution of the Vertebrate Auditory System is directed to a broad audience of biologists and clinicians, from the level of advanced undergraduate students to professionals interested in learning more about the evolution, structure, and function of the ear. The following abbreviations are used for the tests/checklists utilized most often in the studies: Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC1), Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC2), Behavior Summarized Evaluation ( Perspectives on Auditory Research celebrates the last two decades of the Springer Handbook in Auditory Research. Contributions from the leading experts in the field examine the progress made in auditory research over the past twenty years, as well as the major questions for the future. The Lateral Line System provides an overview of the key concepts and issues surrounding the development, evolution, neurobiology, and function of the lateral line, a fascinating yet somewhat enigmatic flow-sensing system. The book examines the historical precedence for linking the auditory and lateral line systems, its structure and development, use of the lateral line system of zebrafish as a model system, physical principles governing the response properties of the lateral line, the behavioral relevance of this sensory system to the lives of fish, and an examination of how this information is shaped and encoded by the peripheral and central nervous systems.ContentsThe Gems of the Past: A Brief History of Lateral Line Research in the Context of the Hearing Sciences - Sheryl Coombs and Horst BleckmannMorphological Diversity, Development, and Evolution of the Mechanosensory Lateral Line System - Jacqueline F.
