Signaling Across Brain Regions
Even something as simple as speaking requires the interplay of different brain areas.

The More You Hear, The Less you Hear
Specialized cells in the inner ear turn vibrations in the air into what we perceive as sound. However, over time or after prolonged exposure to loud noises, these cells can become damaged and die, leading to hearing loss.

Listening with Light: Deaf Can Hear Using Lasers
Cochlear implants have restored hearing to thousands of deaf people, but what about when deafness is caused by a damaged cochlea or nonfunctional auditory nerve? A possible solution is to bypass the cochlea and stimulate the brain directly.
Sensing Sound
The cochlea is the place where sound waves are converted to beautiful music.
