The Laryngeal Auditory Startle Reflex (LASR): A New Component of the Auditory Startle Response

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The auditory startle reflex contains a distinct laryngeal component, termed the laryngeal auditory startle reflex (LASR). In healthy adults, the LASR is modulated by supratentorial influences and habituates to repetitive stimuli. Physiologic and pathologic implications for the LASR as a component of the overall human SR remain to be determined but may ...

Cisplatin vestibulotoxicity: a current review

Frontiers in Surgery
Cisplatin, a commonly used chemotherapy drug, is well-established for its ototoxic effects, primarily attributed to the damage it inflicts on cochlear hair cells. However, its impact on the vestibular system remains inadequately understood.

Quantifying Dehydration Effects of Porcine Vocal Fold Attenuation With Optical Coherence Tomography

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The purpose of this study is to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to characterize the effect of dehydration on the optical attenuation coefficient of porcine vocal fold (VF) tissue. The optical attenuation coefficient tissue decreased linearly with dehydration, dropping by approximately 0.08 mm−1 for every 1% increase in mass loss.

Exploiting Vestibular Output during Learning Results in Naturally Curved Reaching Trajectories [PDF]

, 2005
Teaching a humanoid robot to reach for a visual target is a complex problem in part because of the high dimensionality of the control space. In this paper, we demonstrate a biologically plausible simplification of the reaching process that replaces the ...

Greater Cochlear Damage in Otogenic Versus Meningogenic Meningitis: Hearing Rehabilitation Implications

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Otogenic route of meningitis was associated with greater cochlear hair cell loss in comparison with the meningogenic one in this otopathology study. Neuronal depletion has been traditionally implicated in failed hearing rehabilitation of post‐meningitis deafness.

A Simulation Study of Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Modulating Rotational Sense Through Acoustic Streaming in Semicircular Canal: A Pilot Study

Applied Sciences
This study explores the feasibility of using low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to induce rotational sensations in the human semicircular canal (SCC) through the acoustic streaming effect.

Impact of Co‐Morbid Immunocompromise in HPV‐Associated Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Among patients with surgically resected Human Papillomavirus positive (HPV+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), immunocompromised patients had significantly worse overall survival compared to the non‐compromised group; however, these exploratory findings should be interpreted cautiously.

Advances in GPCRs Associated With Wnt Signaling Within the Auditory System

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) that interact with the Wnt signaling pathway are pivotal for auditory system homeostasis, as they orchestrate inner ear development, hair cell (HC) regeneration, and hearing preservation. Frizzled (FZD) receptors, the core Wnt‐related GPCRs, bind Wnt ligands and co‐receptors (e.g., LRP5/6) to activate both ...

Simultaneous Acquisition of Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) Optimized for Human Brain

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Increase clinical acceptance of MRE and DTI by shortening the scan time by half and providing diffusive and mechanical property maps that are inherently co‐registered. This proof‐of‐concept study evaluates the simultaneous DTI‐MRE acquisition in the human brain and compares its results to conventional DTI and MRE measurements.
