Development of Auditory and Vestibular Systems

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 pathwayCovers a broad range of species, from drosophila to humans, demonstrating the diversity of morphological development despite similarities in molecular processes involved at the cellular levelDiscusses a variety of approaches, from genetic-molecular biology to psychophysics, enabling the investigation of ontogenesis and functional development INDICE: Early Development of the Inner EarDevelopment of the Ear (Johnston's Organ) in the DrosophilaInner Ear Development and Function in ZebrafishHuman Gene Discovery for Understanding Development of the Inner Ear and Hearing LossPlanar Polarity in the Developing Inner Ear Functional Development of Hair Cells in the Mammalian Inner EarNeuronal Circuitries During Inner Ear Development Recapitulating Inner Ear Development with Pluripotent Stem Cells: Biology and TranslationDevelopment of Mammalian Primary Sound Localization CircuitsDevelopment of Fundamental Aspects of Human Auditory PerceptionDevelopmental Plasticity of the Auditory Central Nervous systemDevelopment of the Mammalian Vestibular System: Evolution of Form to Detect Angular and Gravity AccelerationDevelopment of the Stato-acoustic System in AmphibiansDevelopment of the Central Vestibular System Ontogeny of Mouse Vestibular System: Sensorimotor Pathways for Stabilization of Gaze and PostureDevelopment of the Vestibular System in Altered Gravity
