The developmental expression pattern of TUJ1 and Tenascin in the utricle and saccule of Japanese quail [PDF]

, 2004
This paper presents a study to determine how, when and where type 1 hair cells develop in the utricle and saccule of Japanese quail. The author used fluorescent microscopy to observe the developmental expression patterns of two different proteins, TUJ1 ...

Inner ear morphology in the Atlantic molly Poecilia mexicana [PDF]

, 2011
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.

Characterizing human vestibular sensory epithelia for experimental studies: new hair bundles on old tissue and implications for therapeutic interventions in ageing. [PDF]

, 2015
Balance disequilibrium is a significant contributor to falls in the elderly. The most common cause of balance dysfunction is loss of sensory cells from the vestibular sensory epithelia of the inner ear.

Quantification of hair cell number, ribeye b and nuclei in the zebrafish inner ear endorgans

, 2023
<p>The three otolithic endorgans of the inner ear are known to be involved in sound detection in different teleost fishes, yet their relative roles for auditory-vestibular functions within the same species remain unclear.

Stratification of hippocampal electrophysiological activation evoked by selective electrical stimulation of different angular and linear acceleration sensors in the rat peripheral vestibular system

, 2021
International audienceIt has become well established that vestibular information is important for hippocampal function and spatial memory. However, as yet, relatively little is known about how different kinds of vestibular in-formation are 'represented ...

Characteristic findings in the human fetus vestibule: A human temporal bone study

, 2023
Objective The “collapse,” a highly flexed, dented, or caved membrane between the endo- and peri-lymph of the saccule and utricle in adults, is considered as a morphological aspect of Ménière's syndrome.

The Growing Evidence for the Importance of the Otoliths in Spatial Memory

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2019
Many studies have demonstrated that vestibular sensory input is important for spatial learning and memory. However, it has been unclear what contributions the different parts of the vestibular system – the semi-circular canals and otoliths – make to ...

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 ...

Rapid Postmortem Temporal Bone Extraction and Dissection of Human Inner Ear Organs From Organ Donors

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We developed a postmortem protocol for temporal bone extraction and dissection in organ donors, enabling atraumatic bilateral temporal bone retrieval within 1–2 h of ischemia, followed by stepwise microsurgical dissection of neurosensory organs. Combining rapid extraction, abbreviated decalcification, and atraumatic microsurgical dissection, this ...

Molecular Biomarkers in Meniere's Disease: A Scoping Review of Current Evidence

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Meniere's disease is a complex chronic inner ear condition that is characterized by vertigo, tinnitus, aural fullness, and progressive hearing loss. Currently, diagnostic strategies remain symptom‐driven, and treatments focus on management of discrete episodes rather than targeting underlying pathophysiology.
