The inner ear can be thought of as two organs: the semicircular canals which serve as the body's balance organ and the cochlea which serves as the body's microphone, converting sound pressure impulses from the outer ear into electrical impulses which are passed on to the brain via the auditory nerve.

(1996) show that the semicircular canals in Neandertals are different from those of modern humans. The significance of this finding is unclear, since there is no doubt that Neandertals were fully bipedal, but they suggest it might be related to neck and eye motility.

Although many studies have focused on the vestibular responses of mice to angular rotation, the geometry of their semicircular canals has not been described. High-voltage X-ray computed tomography was used to measure the anatomy of the semicircular canals of two strains of mice, C57Bl/6J and CBA/CaJ.
