Otolith regularities

Hearing Research, 2000
The masses and the area sizes of the otoliths for the utriculus, sacculus and lagena of 15 species of the Black Sea fish are analyzed. Morphometrical otolith regularities are derived and their functional and ecomorphological explanations are suggested.

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.

Compensation of Otolith Function

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1989
Horizontal eye displacement in total darkness during lateral tilting about the body axis was examined in 14 patients with unilateral loss of labyrinth function, including 8 cases of positional vertigo or dizziness and 6 symptom-free cases. The change in eye displacement following labyrinthectomy was also studied in 2 cases of labyrinthitis and one case

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).

Otoliths and Uprightness

1979
Publisher Summary Positional reflexes from the labyrinth upon the limbs are shown to be asymmetric in their effects. The combination of labyrinth reflexes with neck reflexes serves to provide stabilization of the trunk. The pattern of labyrinth reflexes is altered by acute cerebellectomy and by destroying one labyrinth. The otolith apparatus responds

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.

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 ...
