Development of the Inner Ear describes the embryonic development of the vertebrate inner ear in six chapters that span all aspects of inner ear development, from the induction of the otic placode through cellular morphogenesis, to the onset of auditory function.

Development of the Inner Ear is examined in terms of both classic embryologic experiments and more recent advances using molecular biological techniques.
