The Otolithic Membrane Mediates Otolith Organization

The FASEB Journal, 2016
Otoconia are small biocrystals that link mechanical forces to the sensory hair cells in the mammalian utricle and saccule, a process essential for sensing linear acceleration and gravity as well as maintaining bodily balance. In fish, structurally similar otoliths mediate both balance and hearing.

Active Motion of Hair Bundles Coupled to the Otolithic Membrane in the Frog Sacculus [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2011
Active hair bundle motility has been proposed to provide the basis for the active process in the auditory organs of non‐mammalian vertibrates, and has been extensively studied in mechanically decoupled or free‐standing hair bundles from in vitro preparations of the frog sacculus.

Tectorial Membrane and Otolithic Membrane of Pigeon Inner Ear. A Scanning Electron Microscope Study

Archivum histologicum japonicum, 1973
The tectorial membrane and otolithic membrane of pigeon inner ear were observed by scanning electron microscopy. Special attention was paid to the possible connection of sensory cells to the membranes.1. Each hair bundle of the sensory cells of the cochlea was enclosed in a cavity on the under side of the tectorial membrane, the longest hairs being ...

Inner ear morphology in the Atlantic molly Poecilia mexicana--first detailed microanatomical study of the inner ear of a cyprinodontiform species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Fishes show an amazing diversity in hearing abilities, inner ear structures, and otolith morphology. Inner ear morphology, however, has not yet been investigated in detail in any member of the diverse order Cyprinodontiformes.

Structural basis for mechanical transduction in the frog vestibular sensory apparatus: I. The otolithic membrane [PDF]

Hearing Research, 1990
The mechanical coupling of the otoliths to the hair cell sensory stereocilia at the surface of the vestibular sensory epithelium is mediated by two layers of extracellular matrix, each one with a specific role in the mechanical transduction process.

Identification of a structural constituent and one possible site of postembryonic formation of a teleost otolithic membrane [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1997
A gelatinous otolithic membrane (OM) couples a single calcified otolith to the sensory epithelium in the bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) saccule, one of the otolithic organs in the inner ear.

Comparative Histopathologic Analysis of Inner Ear Damage in Meningitis: Otogenic Versus Meningogenic Routes. [PDF]

Laryngoscope
A comparative study distinguishing histopathologic patterns of inner ear changes between meningogenic and otogenic routes in meningitis cases. Otogenic cases displayed a higher prevalence of changes in the spiral ligament and signs of early ossification, whereas meningogenic cases associated with a higher degree of vestibular damage.

Central projections of auditory nerve fibers in the western rat snake (Pantherophis obsoletus)

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 531, Issue 12, Page 1261-1273, August 2023., 2023
The western rat snake does not have a tympanum but is able to detect low‐frequency vibrations. Using tract tracing, we found that auditory nerve fibers of the western rat snake project to two distinct cochlear nuclei, consistent with other reptiles. Auditory pathways are present despite loss of sensitivity to airborne sound.
