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 ...

Computer Simulation of the Electrical Stimulation of the Human Vestibular System: Effects of the Reactive Component of Impedance on Voltage Waveform and Nerve Selectivity. [PDF]

J Assoc Res Otolaryngol, 2022
The vestibular system is responsible for our sense of balance and spatial orientation. Recent studies have shown the possibility of partially restoring the function of this system using vestibular implants.

Prosthetic implantation of the human vestibular system. [PDF]

Otol Neurotol, 2014
Hypothesis 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. Background A number of vestibular

Neurotransmitter and neurotransmitter receptor expression in the saccule of the human vestibular system

Progress in Neurobiology, 2022
The saccule is one of the vestibular sensory organs of the inner ear. It detects head movements and provides information to maintain balance and orient in space.

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.

Challenges to the Vestibular System in Space: How the Brain Responds and Adapts to Microgravity

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021
In the next century, flying civilians to space or humans to Mars will no longer be a subject of science fiction. The altered gravitational environment experienced during space flight, as well as that experienced following landing, results in impaired ...
