High‐Resolution Visualization of the Human Semicircular Canals Using Optical Coherence Tomography

International Journal of Imaging Systems and Technology, Volume 35, Issue 6, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The semicircular canals are essential sensors of the vestibular organ. Current clinical in vivo imaging techniques lack the resolution needed to visualize critical vestibular microstructures, such as the membranous labyrinth and crista ampullaris.

Skin sympathetic nerve activity is modulated during slow sinusoidal linear displacements in supine humans

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
Low-frequency sinusoidal linear acceleration (0.08 Hz, ±4 mG) modulates skin sympathetic nerve activity (SSNA) in seated subjects (head vertical), suggesting that activation of the utricle in the peripheral vestibular labyrinth modulates SSNA. The aim of

Effect of Auditory Input on Sensory Organization and Fall Risk in Young Adults With Hearing Aids

The Laryngoscope, Volume 135, Issue 11, Page 4382-4392, November 2025.
The aim of this study was to document postural control, sensory organization, and fall risk parameters of auditory input using computerized post urography in bilaterally hearing‐aided young adults. It was observed that auditory input had a positive contribution to postural control and fall risk in young adult hearing aid users.

Semicircular canal morphology in Rodentia and its relationship to locomotion

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 5, Page 953-969, November 2025.
Here, we present a selection of rodent inner ear 3D models in the lateral view, with rodents from seven locomotor categories (left to right: fossorial, semifossorial, semiaquatic, terrestrial, ricochetal, arboreal, and gliding). Semicircular canal (SCC) morphology, including radius of curvature and shape, can be differentiated between specialized forms

TMC function, dysfunction, and restoration in mouse vestibular organs

Frontiers in Neurology
Tmc1 and Tmc2 are essential pore-forming subunits of mechanosensory transduction channels localized to the tips of stereovilli in auditory and vestibular hair cells of the inner ear.

Different Contribution of Missense and Loss‐of‐Function Variants to the Genetic Structure of Familial and Sporadic Meniere Disease

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study examines the genetic basis of sporadic (SMD) and familial Meniere disease (FMD) by comparing rare protein‐coding variants using exome sequencing and gene burden analysis. FMD patients had a higher accumulation of missense and LoF variants, especially in genes linked to auditory and vestibular function.

Firing properties of muscle spindle afferents in the intrinsic foot muscles and tactile afferents from the sole of the foot during upright stance

Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 10, Page 1492-1510, October 1, 2025.
Abstract We review our approach for undertaking microelectrode recordings from the posterior tibial nerve at the ankle, which has allowed us to identify, for the first time, the firing properties of muscle spindle endings in the intrinsic muscles of the foot and of cutaneous mechanoreceptors in the sole during unsupported standing.

Ageing changes the proprioceptive contribution to balance control under different types of mastoid vibration: A cross‐sectional study

Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 10, Page 1431-1446, October 1, 2025.
Abstract Ageing‐related sensory deteriorations are significantly associated with poor balance control among older individuals, resulting in a higher risk of falling in a dark environment. In particular, the proprioceptive system plays a critical role in maintaining balance.

Vestibular evoked myogenic potential

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2012
Introduction: The Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) is a promising test for the evaluation of the cholic descending vestibular system. This reflex depends of the integrity from the saccular macula, from the inferior vestibular nerve, the ...
