Acoustic Sensitivity of the Saccule and Daf Music [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2014
Introduction:   The daf is a large Persian frame drum used as a musical instrument in both popular and classical music which can induce a percussive sound at low frequencies (146–290 Hz) with peaks of up to 130 dBspl.

Structural and functional effects of acoustic exposure in goldfish: evidence for tonotopy in the teleost saccule

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2011
Background Mammalian and avian auditory hair cells display tonotopic mapping of frequency along the length of the cochlea and basilar papilla. It is not known whether the auditory hair cells of fishes possess a similar tonotopic organization in the ...

Identification of new signaling components in the sensory epithelium of human saccule

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2011
Objective: To locate components and target proteins of relevance for the cAMP and cGMP signaling networks including cAMP and cGMP phosphodiesterases (PDEs), salt-inducible kinases (SIKs), subunits of N+, K+-ATPases and aquaporins (AQPs) in the human ...

The laryngeal saccule: Clinical significance

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, 2011
AbstractThe association between the laryngeal saccule and a laryngocele is an important clinical relationship. Here, we describe this and other clinical correlations of the saccule including infection and carcinoma and suggest that these should be discussed in medical gross anatomy courses.

Hair Cell Heterogeneity in the Goldfish Saccule [PDF]

open access: yesBrain, Behavior and Evolution, 1995
A set of cytological studies performed in the utricle and saccule of Astronotus ocellatus (Teleostei, Percomorphi, Cichlidae) identified two basic types of hair cells and others with some intermediate characteristics. This paper reports on applying the same techniques to the saccule of Carassius auratus (Teleostei, Otophysi, Cyprinidae) and ...

First evolutionary insights into the human otolithic system [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications Biology
The human otolithic system (utricle and saccule), housed within the bony vestibule of the inner ear, establishes our sense of balance in conjunction with the semicircular canals.

Multifunctional redox modulator prevents blast-induced loss of cochlear and vestibular hair cells and auditory spiral ganglion neurons [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Blast wave exposure, a leading cause of hearing loss and balance dysfunction among military personnel, arises primarily from direct mechanical damage to the mechanosensory hair cells and supporting structures or indirectly through excessive oxidative ...

Acute histological reactions in the otolith organs to inner ear drug delivery through a cochlear implant [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology
IntroductionCochlear implantation is currently regarded as a safe and minimally invasive procedure. However, cochlear implantation can have an impact on vestibular function, despite the lack of correlation between patient symptomatology and damage in ...
