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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Statistical shape modeling of the human inner ear through micro‐computed tomography imaging

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
In this study, 54 cadaveric temporal bone specimens underwent high‐resolution micro‐CT imaging. Images were semi‐automatically segmented and converted to 3D surface mesh models for morphological measurement and analysis. Statistical shape models were created for the inner ear, cochlea, and vestibular system, as well as for sex‐ and side‐based subgroups.

Sense of direction in vestibular disorders

open access: yes, 2023
BACKGROUND: Our sense of direction (SOD) ability relies on the sensory integration of both visual information and self-motion cues from the proprioceptive and vestibular systems.

Ontogeny of murine bony semicircular canal form

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The labyrinthine geometry and functional anatomy of the semicircular canals have intrigued scientists for decades, and there has been considerable interest in understanding how these complex structures grow and develop with evidence emerging from human studies that size maturation occurs exceptionally early by comparison with other systems ...

Development of a dynamic virtual reality model of the inner ear sensory system as a learning and demonstrating tool [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In order to keep track of the position and motion of our body in space, nature has given us a fascinating and very ingenious organ, the inner ear. Each inner ear includes five biological sensors - three angular and two linear accelerometers - which ...

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Use of galvanic vestibular stimulation device as a countermeasure for microgravity effects in spaceflight

open access: yesFrontiers in Space Technologies
This work discusses the challenges of space exploration, focusing on microgravity-induced physiological changes, particularly those affecting the vestibular system, which significantly alters human performance in space, necessitating effective ...

Natural statistics of human head orientation constrain models of vestibular processing

open access: yesScientific 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.

The effect of repeated sessions of galvanic vestibular stimulation on target cancellation in visuo-spatial neglect: Preliminary evidence from two cases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Objective: In recent years it has emerged that the attentional disorder of visuo-spatial neglect can be overcome via artificial stimulation of the balance system.
