Vibration of the Otoliths in a Teleost

2012
Fish populations comprise essential parts of marine and freshwater ecosystems as well as being the foundations of considerable human nutrition, industry, and economy. There is growing concern about the possible harmful effects from human-generated sound on fish.

Testing otolith function

British Journal of Audiology, 1992
Otolithic signals contribute to; (1) perception of orientation and linear motion, (2) generate compensatory eye movements in response to linear acceleration of the head and (3) participate in the co-ordination of movement and balance. Tests of these functions shown to be useful in identifying clinical disorders have been reviewed: (1) Evaluation of ...

Otolith thermal marking

Fisheries Research, 1999
Otolith thermal marking is a widely used technique for identifying origins of hatchery-produced salmonids, using short-term temperature fluctuations to induce distinctive structural marks onto the otoliths of incubating fish. This has clear economic advantages over individual tagging techniques, where fins are clipped or materials inserted into the ...

Piezoelectric Property of Otoliths

Science, 1967
Otoliths of two species of bony fishes have been found to be piezoelectric. Hence, in theory, they constitute a mechanism for depth perception or frequency analysis of sound waves, or both.

A model of otolith stimulation

Biological Cybernetics, 1989
A new model of otolithic stimulation by linear acceleration is presented and compared to previous models, based upon anatomical evidence and on the ability of normal subjects to sense the direction of a linear acceleration vector acting in the coronal plane (roll-tilt perception).

Otolith Function Testing

2019
Two technically simple tests, vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) and subjective visual vertical/horizontal (SVV/H) test, have the potential to transform otolith function testing from the research laboratory to the outpatient clinic. Cervical- and ocular-VEMPs are short latency surface potentials produced through the activation of saccular and ...

Ultrastructure of the Otoliths and Otolithic Membrane of the Macula Utriculi in the Guinea PIG

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1971
The fine structure of the otoliths and oto-lithic membrane of the macula utriculi in the guinea pig has been studied. It has been confirmed that it adopts a wavy arrangement, being formed of two zones of different electronic densiiy, one marginal and the other medial. Of these zones the former is composed of fibres and an interfibrillar substance.

Otoliths as biomechanical gravisensors

Advances in Space Research, 2002
This paper analyzes experimental data related to the reaction of otolith afferents in response to acceleration (Fernandez and Goldberg, 1976). It considers the assumptions that were the basis of the interpretation of the stimulus-response characteristics of afferents proposed by Fernandez and Goldberg. Comparing these experimental data with the results

Otolith Biomechanics

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1988
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The otolith organs are the linear motion sensors of the mammalian system. As part of the vestibular system these small organs are located in the inner ear. Mathematically modeled, they consist of an overdamped second-order system with elastic, viscous damping, and mass elements.
