Recording potentials from scala media, saccule and utricle in mice [PDF]

Journal of Otology, 2015
To describe a protocol for recording electrical potentials from the scala media, saccule, and utricle in mice.CBA/J mice were used and potentials were recorded with glass electrodes inserted through the basilar membrane using a patch clamp system.Resting potentials were successfully recorded from the scala media, saccule and utricle using described ...

Binocular 3D otolith-ocular reflexes: responses of chinchillas to prosthetic electrical stimulation targeting the utricle and saccule [PDF]

Journal of Neurophysiology, 2020
From animal experiments by Cohen and Suzuki et al. in the 1960s to the first-in-human clinical trials now in progress, prosthetic electrical stimulation targeting semicircular canal branches of the vestibular nerve has proven effective at driving directionally appropriate vestibulo-ocular reflex eye movements, postural responses, and perception.

Endolymph magnetic resonance imaging: Contribution of saccule and utricle analysis in the management of patients with sensorineural ear disorders

European Annals of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Diseases, 2020
Endolymphatic hydrops features excess endolymph in the membranous labyrinth, and is a marker of Menière's disease. Between the early 1980s and late 2000s, MRI in Menière's disease aimed purely to rule out tumor or malformation as differential diagnoses for the pressure disorder.

Response of Vestibular Nerve Afferents Innervating Utricle and Saccule During Passive and Active Translations

Journal of Neurophysiology, 2009
The distinction between sensory inputs that are a consequence of our own actions from those that result from changes in the external world is essential for perceptual stability and accurate motor control. In this study, we investigated whether linear translations are encoded similarly during active and passive translations by the otolith system ...

Thirty years with cervical vestibular myogenic potentials: a critical review on its origin [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology
Myogenic potentials generated by acoustic stimulation of the vestibular system have been reported since 1964. This examination became better known as cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) and gained increasing clinical application since

Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathway on Polarity Formation of Utricle Hair Cells

Neural Plasticity, 2021
As part of the inner ear, the vestibular system is responsible for sense of balance, which consists of three semicircular canals, the utricle, and the saccule.

First evolutionary insights into the human otolithic system [PDF]

Communications 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.

Matrix recruitment and calcium sequestration for spatial specific otoconia development. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Otoconia are bio-crystals anchored to the macular sensory epithelium of the utricle and saccule in the inner ear for motion sensing and bodily balance. Otoconia dislocation, degeneration and ectopic calcification can have detrimental effects on balance ...

Aminoglycoside-induced hair cell death of inner ear organs causes functional deficits in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Aminoglycoside antibiotics, like gentamicin, kill inner ear sensory hair cells in a variety of species including chickens, mice, and humans. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been used to study hair cell cytotoxicity in the lateral line organs of larval ...

Case Report: Isolated Idiopathic Saccular Dysfunction

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Advances in vestibular testing have now allowed us to test each semicircular canal as well as the utricle and saccule, independently. This has led to the discovery of new patterns of vestibular dysfunction that were once impossible to evaluate.
