This study examines sound-evoked mechanical responses in the tokay gecko's basilar papilla, finding untuned rotational motion and proposing anatomical asymmetry as a mechanism for auditory tuning.

The paper shows Notch signaling drives asymmetry in zebrafish hair cells through a kinase-dependent mechanism, revealing a chiral bias in cell-pair rotations.

The paper identifies a 'hotspot' and 'frame' in the cochlea's organ of Corti complex, showing that the hotspot moves nonlinearly with sound and the frame is shielded from sub-BF activity.
