Regeneration of Hair Cells in the Human Vestibular System [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 The vestibular system is a critical part of the human balance system, malfunction of this system will lead to balance disorders, such as vertigo. Mammalian vestibular hair cells, the mechanical receptors for vestibular function, are sensitive to ototoxic

Aging of the Human Vestibular System.
Semin Hear, 2015 Aging affects every sensory system in the body, including the vestibular system. Although its impact is often difficult to quantify, the deleterious impact of aging on the vestibular system is serious both medically and economically. The deterioration of the vestibular sensory end organs has been known since the 1970s; however, the measurable impact ...

Prosthetic implantation of the human vestibular system. [PDF]
Otol Neurotol, 2014 A functional vestibular prosthesis can be implanted in human such that electrical stimulation of each semicircular canal produces canal-specific eye movements while preserving vestibular and auditory function.A number of vestibular disorders could be treated with prosthetic stimulation of the vestibular end organs.

Interactions between stress and vestibular compensation – a review [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2012 Elevated levels of stress and anxiety often accompany vestibular dysfunction, while conversely complaints of dizziness and loss of balance are common in patients with panic and other anxiety disorders.

Electrical Vestibular Stimuli Evoke Robust Muscle Activity in Deep and Superficial Neck Muscles in Humans [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 Neck muscle activity evoked by vestibular stimuli is a clinical measure for evaluating the function of the vestibular apparatus. Cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) are most commonly measured in the sternocleidomastoid muscle (and more

The thalamocortical vestibular system in animals and humans [PDF]
Brain Research Reviews, 2011 The vestibular system provides the brain with sensory signals about three-dimensional head rotations and translations. These signals are important for postural and oculomotor control, as well as for spatial and bodily perception and cognition, and they are subtended by pathways running from the vestibular nuclei to the thalamus, cerebellum and the ...

Effects of Noise Exposure on the Vestibular System: A Systematic Review
Frontiers in Neurology, 2020 Despite our understanding of the impact of noise-induced damage to the auditory system, much less is known about the impact of noise exposure on the vestibular system.

Impact of Vestibular Stimulation at Powerline Frequency on Human Pointing Accuracy
IEEE Access, 2022 Background: Electric vestibular stimulations (EVS) up to 300 Hz trigger vestibular myogenic responses. Interestingly, 300 Hz is the upper limit of the so called extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) range found within the 2010 guidelines ...
