A galaxy inside your ear ✨👂 These are spiral A galaxy inside your ear ✨👂 These are spiral ganglion neurons, the tiny but mighty cells that allow us to hear. Each color marks where they sit (blue = higher, red = lower), revealing the incredible diversity that helps us detect everything from quiet whispers to loud yells. And those glowing fibers stretching to the top right? That’s sound information on the move. Benjamin Tibbetts, a researcher from the Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery at @Massgeneralbrigham, took and colored this image to help their team understand how hearing works, and what changes when someone is born deaf or loses their hearing. Benjamin works under Principal Investigator Brikha Shrestha, PhD, in the Shrestha Lab at Mass Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School.
