To date, sound reception paths in mysticetes remain unknown. To understand hearing mechanisms in baleen whales, a thorough examination of their auditory anatomy is required. This study combines classical dissection with biomed1cal imaging techniques such as X-ray, computerized tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRl) to describe the anatomy of the minke whale head with a focus on the ear region. Six individuals have been examined to date. <p><a href="http://csi.whoi.edu/biblio/auditory-anatomy-minke-whale-balaenoptera-acutorostrata-insights-potential-sound-reception-pa" target="_blank">read more</a></p> anatomy auditory auditory anatomy auditory system balaenoptera balaenoptera acutorostrata Baleen baleen whale baleen whale hearing Baleen whales Biology biomed1cal imaging techniques body cetaceans Common Minke Whale complex computerized tomography ear Eardrum fat body Fauna of Ireland functional analyses incoming sound Journal of Mammalogy Ken Norris magnetic resonance imaging mandibular ramus marine mammal hearing Megafauna minke minke whale minke whale head odontocetes reception sound sound reception sound reception pathway straley tissue tomography Toothed whale tympanic bone tympanic cavity tympanic membrane tympano whale whale head x-ray Zoology Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:18:47 +0000 csiadmin 1431 at http://csi.whoi.edu Three-dimensional reconstructions of the dolphin ear http://csi.whoi.edu/biblio/three-dimensional-reconstructions-dolphin-ear <a href="http://csi.whoi.edu/biblio/three-dimensional-reconstructions-dolphin-ear" class="sharethis-link" title="Three-dimensional reconstructions of the dolphin ear" rel="nofollow">ShareThis</a>[88] <span class="biblio-authors"><a href="/biblio/author/4">Ketten, D.
