The saccule is a part of the inner ear that plays a key role in balance and keeping track of head and body positioning. This ...

However, the tokay gecko can pick up vibrations that are much lower and deeper—within the range of 50 to 200 Hertz—using a special part of their inner ear called the saccule. The saccule is ...

The tiny creatures are able to do this thanks to a small structure in their inner ear called the saccule, which most animals use for equilibrium. The tokay gecko is one of the few animals that ...

In a study published in Current Biology on October 4, 2024, the researchers revealed that geckos use the saccule—a part of ...

The hearing organ in mammals is a spiraling structure called the "cochlea" from the Greek word for snail. It spirals out from the saccule (one of the balance organs). There are two and a half turns in ...

美国知名科技网站《物理学家组织》报道，美国马里兰大学的生物学家发现，守宫拥有一种隐藏的听觉“第六感”，利用内耳中的球囊（saccule ...

The research highlights the gecko's saccule, a part of the inner ear. While usually responsible for maintaining balance, it also allows the gecko to sense ground-based vibrations. This discovery ...

Image d'illustration Pexels Des chercheurs de l'Université du Maryland ont révélé que ces reptiles utilisent leur saccule pour ressentir les vibrations à basse fréquence. Mais que cache réellement ...

This direct relationship was confirmed by injecting a dye into the nerves emanating from the saccule and tracking its progression via imaging. In this second experiment, the dye spread to the ...
