Book Description
This volume explores the latest techniques in inner ear development, analysis of its sensory cells, and characterization and manipulation of the central auditory and vestibular pathways. The chapters in this book cover topics such as dissection and imaging of the cochlea; behavioral evaluation of animal models of diseases like tinnitus; hair cell function and regeneration; and recent advances in sequencing technology. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory. Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Developmental, Physiological, and Function Neurobiology of the Inner Ear is a valuable resource for scientists and researchers interested in learning more about this developing field.

Book Description
Fish have become an important model for studying hair cell plasticity and development. Unlike mammals, the inner ears of fish continue to grow and add hair cells throughout their lifespan, and fish can regenerate hair cells after inner ear damage. The plainfin midshipman fish (Porichthys notatus) is a useful model for investigating auditory plasticity because, in addition to these more widely studied contexts of hair cell plasticity, the midshipman auditory system undergoes changes associated with the reproductive state. In chapter 1, I summarize the multiple contexts of hair cell plasticity in fish and the secondary adaptive functions of the gas-filled swim bladder as an auditory and vocal structure. I then discuss the specific questions explored in this dissertation regarding developmental and reproductive state-dependent changes to the auditory inner ear and swim bladder using the plainfin midshipman as a model. In chapter 2, I provide evidence for a reproductive state-dependent change in hair cell density and a possible cellular mechanism in vocal type I male midshipman. In chapter 3, I describe changes in sensory epithelium area, hair cell density, and total hair cell quantity in the auditory inner ear throughout ontogeny in plainfin midshipman fish. In chapter 4, I discuss a change in the morphology of the swim bladder and its proximity to the inner ear in type I males related to reproductive state, indicating a possible change in adaptive use as an auditory structure to a vocal organ. Lastly, in chapter 5, I discuss the implications of the findings in this dissertation and future directions for studying auditory-related questions in the plainfin midshipman fish.
Development of Auditory and Vestibular Systems

Book Description
Development of Auditory and Vestibular Systems fourth edition presents a global and synthetic view of the main aspects of the development of the stato-acoustic system. Unique to this volume is the joint discussion of two sensory systems that, although close at the embryological stage, present divergences during development and later reveal conspicuous functional differences at the adult stage. This work covers the development of auditory receptors up to the central auditory system from several animal models, including humans. Coverage of the vestibular system, spanning amphibians to effects of altered gravity during development in different species, offers examples of the diversity and complexity of life at all levels, from genes through anatomical form and function to, ultimately, behavior. The new edition of Development of Auditory and Vestibular Systems will continue to be an indispensable resource for beginning scientists in this area and experienced researchers alike. Full-color figures illustrate the development of the stato-acoustic system pathway Covers a broad range of species, from drosophila to humans, demonstrating the diversity of morphological development despite similarities in molecular processes involved at the cellular level Discusses a variety of approaches, from genetic-molecular biology to psychophysics, enabling the investigation of ontogenesis and functional development

Book Description
An international group of leading investigators discuss recent progress of sensory structures in lower and higher vertebrates. Experts in two relevant fields--the cell cycle and mitogenic growth factors--present insightful contributions in the search for precursors and/or stem cells in each sense organ plus the signals which regulate those precursors' differentiation both in normal development and regeneration.
