Bats With Ears. Two major groups of bats that use echolocation have different structures for connecting the inner ear to the brain, according to a new study by researchers from the. Now, researchers suspect a tiny ear bone may. The ears and brain cells in bats are especially tuned to the frequencies of the sounds they emit and the echoes that result. By examining the microscopic inner ears of bats from 19 of the 21 known bat families, the researchers were able to show that the presence of extra neurons and specialized. Most bats use their ears to “see” the world around them: Examples of bat embryos observed in our study, highlighting the ear bones. They discovered that the yangochiropterans, which includes most bat families and 82 percent of echolocating species, have inner ears unlike those of any other mammal. The research, published today in. A new study led by a museum graduate student reveals how differences in microscopic inner ear structures led to different types of bat echolocation. After a bat chirps, its ears sense shapes and movement as sound waves bounce off objects, much as ships use sonar. Bats’ ears were long thought to be just a finely tuned version of the ears of nearly all mammals.
