Beyond balance: The role of the Vestibular system in action recognition

Heliyon
Background: Action recognition is a fundamental aspect of human interaction. This process is mediated by the activation of shared sensorimotor representations during action execution and observation.

The Importance of Otoneurological Evaluation in Brazilian Workers Exposed to Pesticides: A Preliminary Study

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2019
Introduction Agrochemicals, also known as pesticides, are widely used in agriculture and in public health. They are organic and inorganic chemical substances with a high level of toxicity not only for the environment, but also for human health.

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

The Relationship between Vestibular Function and Topographical Memory in Older Adults

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2014
Research during the past two decades has demonstrated an important role of the vestibular system in topographical orientation and memory and the network of neural structures associated with them.

Reflex seizures and epilepsy surgery: A network approach case‐based exploration

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Context Reflex seizures (RS) are defined by their consistent provocation by specific stimuli, encompassing a broad range from elementary sensory inputs to complex cognitive tasks. While RS are often encountered in clinical practice, their surgical management remains sparsely reported and poorly systematized.

Creativity and its link to epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Creative thinking represents one of our highest‐order cognitive processes, involving multiple cortical structures and an intricate interplay between several cortical and subcortical networks. It results in novel ideas that translate to useful products or concepts. The evolutionary purpose of creativity is therefore apparent, as it advances our

Disrupted cerebellar networks in uncontrolled focal to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Focal to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures (FBTC) are associated with significant morbidity and an elevated risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). The cerebellum has been implicated in modulating the frequency and severity of tonic–clonic seizures.

Vaginal host–microbe signatures linked to placental outcomes in mares

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ascending placentitis is a leading cause of late‐term pregnancy loss in mares. Although pathogens are presumed to ascend from the caudal reproductive tract, the association between the vaginal microbiome and placentitis has not been systematically examined.

Fundamental characteristics of the vestibular coordinate system in human craniology

Journal of the Anthropological Society of Nippon, 1981
The present study concerns with the methodological aspects of the vestibular method of orientating the cranium, which is mainly recommended for its physiological significance. Three dimensional coordinates of 36 landmarks were examined in the vestibular coordinate system which is defined by the plane of the lateral semicircular canals.

Laser neoureterocystostomy to treat ectopic ureters

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ureteral ectopia is an uncommon but clinically important congenital abnormality in horses. If left untreated, it can lead to persistent dermatitis, urinary tract infections, and failure to thrive. Surgical correction is necessary, but traditional approaches have produced mixed results with high morbidity.
