The glymphatic system, an analog of the peripheral lymphatic system in brain, and meningeal are critical to central nervous health. functions distribute cerebrospinal fluid important compounds throughout brain remove metabolic waste. flow through this is affected by changes cerebral blood flow, intracranial pressure, vascular tone. Cetaceans experience profound cardiorespiratory alterations while diving that can directly affect and, thus, function. Our goal was investigate structures,...
Prestin is an integral membrane motor protein located in outer hair cells of the mammalian cochlea. It responsible for electromotility and required cochlear amplification. Although prestin works a cycle-by-cycle mode up to frequencies at least 79 kHz, it not known whether or extreme high used by echolocating species. Cetaceans are possess coding gene. However, expression distribution pattern cetacean cochlea has been determined, contribution echolocation yet resolved. Here we report five...
Abstract The apex or apical region of the cochlear spiral within inner ear encodes for low‐frequency sounds. disposition sensory hair cells on organ Corti is largely variable in mammals, and it does not necessarily follow typical three‐row pattern outer (OHCs). As most underwater noise sources contain components, we expect to find lesions cochlea toothed whales, cases permanent noise‐induced hearing loss. To further understand how man‐made might affect cetacean hearing, there a need describe...
Environmental change and decreased ice cover in the Arctic make new areas accessible to humans animals. It is important understand how these changes impact marine mammals, such as beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas Pallas, 1776). Hearing crucial daily lives of cetaceans. Consequently, we need normal baselines further anthropogenic noise affects Relatively little known about inner ear morphology belugas, particularly organ Corti, or hearing organ, found within cochlea. The base cochlea...
ABSTRACT Two new biomechanical challenges faced cetacean lungs compared to their terrestrial ancestors. First, hydrostatic pressures encountered during deep dives are sufficient cause nearly full lung collapse, risking substantial barotrauma surfacing if air is trapped in the fragile smaller airways. Second, rapid ventilation large cetaceans requires correspondingly high ventilatory flow rates. In order investigate how airway geometry evolved response these challenges, we characterized from...
