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.

Morphological analysis of the vestibular system of guinea pigs poisoned by organophosphate [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2016 INTRODUCTION: The vestibular system is responsible for body balance. There are substances that damage it, causing dizziness; these are termed vestibulotoxic substances.

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 ...

Inner ear morphology in the Atlantic molly Poecilia mexicana--first detailed microanatomical study of the inner ear of a cyprinodontiform species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Fishes show an amazing diversity in hearing abilities, inner ear structures, and otolith morphology. Inner ear morphology, however, has not yet been investigated in detail in any member of the diverse order Cyprinodontiformes.

Vestibular modulation of muscle sympathetic nerve activity during sinusoidal linear acceleration in supine humans [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 The utricle and saccular components of the vestibular apparatus detect linear displacements of the head in the horizontal and vertical planes, respectively. We previously showed that sinusoidal linear acceleration in the horizontal plane of seated humans

Developmental Expression of Membrane Pumps and Ion Channels in Human Vestibular Endolymph Homeostasis [PDF]
Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 86, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT The expression patterns of key membrane pumps and ion channels involved in endolymph cycling have been studied in the rodent inner ear and the developing and adult human cochlea. However, little is known about their expression during the development of the human vestibular system.

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.

Dicer Deletion in the Ear Can Cut Most Neurons and Their Innervation of Hair Cells to Project to the Ear and the Brainstem. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciDicer is crucial for the generation of microRNAs (miRNAs), which are essential for regulating gene expression and keeping neuronal health. Dicer’s conditional deletion cuts all spiral ganglion neurons but spares a small fraction of vestibular ...
