Piezoelectric Property of Otoliths
Science, 1967Otoliths 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, 1989A 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).

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, 1971The 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, 2002This 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

<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.

OTOLITH FUNCTIONS IN WEIGHTLESSNESS
1975The role of the vestibular organ in the exploration of space has been studied extensively during the past two decades. Many investigators have shown that some persons experience ill effects during the transition from the normal gravity to subgravity or weightlessness.
