Temporal Bone Studies of the Human Peripheral Vestibular System
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 2000Quantitative assessments of vestibular hair cells and Scarpa's ganglion cells were performed on temporal bones from 24 patients with well-documented Meniere's disease. Of these, 18 had unilateral disease and 6 had bilateral disease.

Probing the human vestibular system with galvanic stimulation.
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2004Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) is a simple, safe, and specific way to elicit vestibular reflexes. Yet, despite a long history, it has only recently found popularity as a research tool and is rarely used clinically. The obstacle to advancing and exploiting GVS is that we cannot interpret the evoked responses with certainty because we do not ...

Ultrastructural Aspects of the Human Peripheral Vestibular System
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1990The sensory epithelia from the membranous labyrinths of 4 patients were examined by transmission electron microscopy. The distribution ratio of type 1 to type 2 cells was recorded, compared for each sensory area and correlated with age. An ultrastructural assessment confirmed generalized patterns consistent with autolytic and preparation artefact, viz.

Peripheral Vestibular System Disease in Vestibular Schwannomas: A Human Temporal Bone Study
Otology & Neurotology, 2015Dizziness is a common symptom in patients with vestibulo-cochlear schwannoma (VS), and several recent studies have identified this symptom as the single most important concerning the quality of life. Clinical and histological observations regarding hearing loss have suggested that this may be caused by both cochlear and retrocochlear mechanisms ...

Tuning and sensitivity of the human vestibular system to low-frequency vibration.
Neuroscience Letters, 2008Mechanoreceptive hair-cells of the vertebrate inner ear have a remarkable sensitivity to displacement, whether excited by sound, whole-body acceleration or substrate-borne vibration. In response to seismic or substrate-borne vibration, thresholds for vestibular afferent fibre activation have been reported in anamniotes (fish and frogs) in the range ...

Effects of temporary occlusion of a vertebral artery on the human vestibular system.
Journal of Neurosurgery, 1970✓ Vestibular responses elicited by temporary occlusion of one vertebral artery were observed in 25 cases of intermittent vertebral artery compression (Power's syndrome) during surgical treatment by periarterial denervation of an isolated vertebral artery.

Sliding Mode Control of the Human Vestibular System
Volume 1: Development and Characterization of Multifunctional Materials; Modeling, Simulation and Control of Adaptive Systems; Structural Health Monitoring, 2012An original sliding mode controller is designed, based on an existing mathematical model for response control of the human vestibular system. The human vestibular system is located in the inner ear and significantly contributes to the functions of detecting head motion, maintaining balance and posture, and realizing gaze stabilization.
