Human standing and walking: comparison of the effects of stimulation of the vestibular system
Experimental Brain Research, 2006The adoption of bipedalism by hominids including man has complicated the tasks of balance control and the minimisation of body sway. We have investigated the role of the vestibular organs in controlling sway in the roll direction using galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS).

Ultrasonic Acoustic Heterodyne Transmission Into the Human Auditory and Vestibular Systems
Volume 1: Acoustics, Vibration, and Phononics, 2020Abstract It is well-known that airborne sound induces vibration of the eardrum, the coupled middle ear bones, and the inner ear. Sound transmission to the inner ear is attenuated by damage or dysfunction in the eardrum or ossicular chain.

Characteristics of Human Gait Related Variables in Association with Vestibular System Disorders
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1995Gait analysis was performed in patients with vestibular system disorders, using foot switches and electromyography. They were divided into three groups: 11 cases with vestibular neuronitis (VN), 10 cases with large acoustic neuroma (LAN) who had central lesion evidenced by neurotological examinations, and 10 cases with olivopontocerebellar atrophy ...

Interaction of the vestibular system and baroreflexes on sympathetic nerve activity in humans
American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 2000Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) is altered by vestibular otolith stimulation. This study examined interactive effects of the vestibular system and baroreflexes on MSNA in humans. In study 1, MSNA was measured during 4 min of lower body negative pressure (LBNP) at either −10 or −30 mmHg with subjects in prone posture. During the 3rd min of LBNP,

The Expression of Integrins in the Human Vestibular System
, 2018 The inner ear is responsible for the detection of sound and movement and therefore subserves hearing and balance. The vestibular system is an integral part of the labyrinth that is housed in the otic capsule of the petrous temporal bone. It is made up of

Vestibular inputs do not influence the fusimotor system in relaxed muscles of the human leg
Experimental Brain Research, 2007Descending vestibular pathways have been shown to influence recruitment thresholds of alpha motoneurones in both human and cat. However, whereas parallel connections to the fusimotor system have been shown in the cat, such connections have not yet been demonstrated in humans.

The role of the thalamus in the human subcortical vestibular system.
Journal of vestibular research : equilibrium & orientation, 2015Most of our knowledge concerning central vestibular pathways is derived from animal studies while evidence of the functional importance and localization of these pathways in humans is less well defined. The termination of these pathways at the thalamic level in humans is even less known.

An investigation into the human vestibular system with magnetic resonance imaging
2020This thesis for receiving the doctorate PhD degree presents three projects about the vestibular system and one concerning eye-tracking analyses. Tracking the eye-movements elicited by the vestibulo-ocular reflex provide insights into vestibular function. Eye-tracking is therefore a major method used for investigating the vestibular system.

The Annals of otology, rhinology & laryngology. Supplement, 2000
Quantitative studies of the vestibular system with serially sectioned human temporal bones have been limited because of difficulty in distinguishing hair cells from supporting cells and type I from type II hair cells. In addition, there is only a limited amount of normative data available regarding vestibular hair cell counts in humans.
