Development of the Auditory System
Extraordinary progress has been made in recent years in understanding the cellular and molecular basis of development. This progress is having a strong influence on our knowledge of the auditory system. From the molecular genetics of ear development to th

These sections demonstrate the general finding that the late differentiation of the cochlea generally follows a gradient from basal to apical. Note the more mature appearance of the most basal section (top) as compared to the apical section (bottom).
