Dual-AAV vector-mediated expression of MYO7A improves vestibular function in a mouse model of Usher syndrome 1B

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2023
Usher syndrome is the most common cause of deafness-blindness in the world. Usher syndrome type 1B (USH1B) is associated with mutations in MYO7A. Patients with USH1B experience deafness, blindness, and vestibular dysfunction.

Vestibular system and human cognitive functions

Pediatrician (St. Petersburg)
The article is a review of scientific research on the influence of the vestibular system on human cognitive functions. The vestibular apparatus is well studied. Research in recent decades using functional tomography techniques has shown that it has extensive connections with the subcortical and cortical structures of the brain that provide cognitive ...

Cross-modal sensory signaling shapes vestibulo-motor circuit specificity [PDF]

, 2015
The ability to continuously adjust posture and balance is necessary for reliable motor behavior. Vestibular and proprioceptive systems influence postural adjustments during movement by signaling functionally complementary sensory information. Using

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 ...

Interference between postural control and mental task performance in patients with vestibular disorder and healthy controls [PDF]

, 2001
Objectives: To determine whether interference between postural control and mental task performance in patients with balance system impairment and healthy subjects is due to general capacity limitations, motor control interference, competition for spatial

Natural statistics of human head orientation constrain models of vestibular processing

Scientific Reports, 2023
Head orientation relative to gravity determines how gravity-dependent environmental structure is sampled by the visual system, as well as how gravity itself is sampled by the vestibular system.

Rebalancing the commissural system: mechanisms of vestibular compensation

, 2009
Vestibular compensation after unilateral vestibular loss is a complex, multi-factored process involving synaptic and neuronal plasticity in many areas of the brain, and it is a challenge to identify the key sites of plasticity that determine the rate and
