Abstract The killifish genus Aphaniops consists of nine species distributed in Eastern Africa and the Middle East. However, distinguishing these species from each other based on morphological traits is challenging. Here we investigate the utility of otoliths (sagittae) in distinguishing between A. dispar, A. ginaonis, A. hormuzensis, A.

Prognosis of asymptomatic endolymphatic hydrops in healthy volunteers: A five‐year cohort study
Approximately 7% of healthy subjects showed asymptomatic EH by means of the inner ear MRI. Out of these subjects, 25.0% have kept EH and subsequently developed to be typical types of Meniere's disease within the next 5 years. Abstract Background This study aimed to clarify the prognosis of asymptomatic endolymphatic hydrops (EH) in healthy volunteers ...

Animal studies linking the vestibular system and memory: Aotearoa/New Zealand’s contribution [PDF]
ABSTRACT Animal studies of the mammalian vestibular system began at the University of Otago in 1987. From approximately 2000, these studies focused on the effects of vestibular lesions and stimulation, on spatial memory and the hippocampus. Our research has shown that, as well as the deficits in the vestibulo‐ocular and vestibulo‐spinal reflexes that ...

Morphogenesis of otoliths during larval development in brook lamprey, Lampetra planeri
Otolith morphogenesis of the brook lamprey, Lampetra planeri, was analysed from larval to adult stages. The brook lamprey remains juvenile for about 4 years, facilitating analysis of otoliths maturation that permits to identify relevant evolutionary ...

Is activation of the vestibular system by electromagnetic induction a possibility in an MRI context?
Abstract In recent years, an increasing number of studies have discussed the mechanisms of vestibular activation in strong magnetic field settings such as occur in a magnetic resonance imaging scanner environment. Amid the different hypotheses, the Lorentz force explanation currently stands out as the most plausible mechanism, as evidenced by ...

Morphology of the inner and peripheral ear of the loricariid catfish Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps K. [PDF]
The morphology of the peripheral and inner ear structures was studied in the loricariid catfish Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps. Specimens (n=6) were preserved in fixative (4% paraformaldehyde, 2% glutaraldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer) and dissected for ...
