The three inner ear bones in question — the vestibule, semicircular canals, and cochlea — are known as the ‘bony labyrinth’ because of their looping, maze-like structure: up close, they ...

Described by scientists as a "bony labyrinth," the inner ear provides many clues as to the origin of our species. By Matthew Rozsa. Published February 16, 2024 7:26AM (EST) ...

Using computed tomography, researchers collected high-resolution 3D models of the bony labyrinth, the inner ear structure, from populations all over the world.

Bony Labyrinth: The rigid, bony outer structure of the inner ear that houses the sensory organs for hearing and balance. Cochlea: A spiral-shaped, ...

A study published in Nature Communications describes evolutionary changes in Neanderthal morphology through the analysis of their inner ear structures, known as the bony labyrinth. The research ...

But the peculiar bony labyrinth suggests that a tiny part of the inner ear may be a crucial piece of evolving, common across humans, ocean mammals, and reptiles.

This part of the ear consists of bony structures, known as the bony labyrinth, and soft tissues, ... The goal of a labyrinthectomy is to remove the labyrinth portion of the inner ear.

The team used three-dimensional scans to virtually recreate the inner ear’s bony canals. They then compared the scans to living and fossil apes and humans from Africa, Europe, and Asia.

As per the study, the collapse happened around 110,000 years ago. This assertion was made based on the examination of the 'bony labyrinth' present in the inner ear of different Neanderthal ...
