Electrical Vestibular Stimuli Evoke Robust Muscle Activity in Deep and Superficial Neck Muscles in Humans

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

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 stimulation-induced facilitation of cervical premotoneuronal systems in humans

PLOS ONE, 2017
It is unclear how descending inputs from the vestibular system affect the excitability of cervical interneurons in humans. To elucidate this, we investigated the effects of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) on the spatial facilitation of motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) induced by combined pyramidal tract and peripheral nerve stimulation.

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

Suppressing Photothermal Artifacts in Flexible Fluorescent Fiber‐Optic Sensors for Accurate and Precise In Situ Temperature Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A partial‐inner‐cladding optical fiber (PICOF) is developed to suppress photothermal artifacts in fluorescent fiber‐optic thermometry by isolating the sensing layer from regions prone to photothermal effects. This structural design strategy enables high‐fidelity operation at elevated excitation power, achieving high accuracy (maximum absolute error ...

Generation of Vestibular Tissue-Like Organoids From Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Using the Rotary Cell Culture System

Front. Cell Dev. Biol., 2019
Hair cells are specialized mechanosensitive cells responsible for mediating balance and hearing within the inner ear. In mammals, hair cells are limited in number and do not regenerate.

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 ...

Experience Filter: Translating Heterogeneous Signals into Motion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Experience Filter is a signal‐agnostic framework with modality‐specific feature extraction and a modality‐agnostic shared encoding that maps heterogeneous media—music and images—into structured 3‐DoF motion. Each signal is reduced to three descriptors (intensity, dominant spectral feature, distance from neutral) and encoded into a hardware ...

Spinal Involvement in Charge Syndrome: Implications for Management

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT CHARGE syndrome (OMIM #214800) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the CHD7 gene in most cases. Although originally defined by the CHARGE acronym (coloboma, heart defects, choanal atresia, growth restriction, genital hypoplasia, and ear anomalies), the recognized phenotype has expanded considerably to include highly ...
