Deskripsi

Wang et al. use high-speed imaging to examine the in situ movement of inner hair-cell stereocilia in the mouse ear. They report that these individual cilia move semi-independently within their given bundle, which forms part of a larger complex within the inner ear, providing unique filtering opportunity for hearing in mammals.
