## Abstract The mechanics of the middle ear bones of echidna (__Tachyglossus aculeatus__) were studied using the MΓΆssbauer technique. A small radioactive source was placed on the stapes and the alterations in the frequency of the emitted Ξ³βray, which occurred when the stapes vibrated during sound s

In this descriptive study, we characterize the diaphragm and lungs of the short-nosed echidna, Tachyglossus aculeatus, using a combination of gross anatomical, light-microscopic, electron microscopic, and morphometric techniques, including airway casting. The diaphragm is inclined from ventro-crania
Central processing of tactile inputs from the hand begins in the main cuneate nucleus and continues in the thalamus and area 3b cortex. Little is known about cuneate functional organization in primates or about how cuneate and area 3b organization are related. In this study, neurophysiologic approac
