Probing the human vestibular system with galvanic stimulation.

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2004
Galvanic 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 ...

Peripheral Vestibular System Disease in Vestibular Schwannomas: A Human Temporal Bone Study

Otology & Neurotology, 2015
Dizziness 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 ...

Ultrastructural Aspects of the Human Peripheral Vestibular System

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1990
The 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.

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.

The vestibular implant: A probe in orbit around the human balance system

Journal of Vestibular Research, 2017
The primary goal of the vestibular implant is to restore the vestibular function in patients with a disabling bilateral vestibular loss for whom there is currently no available treatment. The prototype developed by our team is a hybrid system consisting of a modified cochlear implant incorporating additional vestibular electrodes.

Stochastic resonance in the human vestibular system - Noise-induced facilitation of vestibulospinal reflexes.

Brain Stimulation, 2017
There is strong evidence that the presence of noise can enhance information processing in sensory systems via stochastic resonance (SR).To examine the presence of SR in human vestibulospinal reflex function.Healthy subjects were stimulated with 1 Hz sinusoidal GVS of varying amplitudes (0-1.9 mA).
