Calcium functional imaging with high-resolution CT in the inner ear

Scientific Reports, 2021
Although the otolith and otolith organs correlate with vertigo and instability, there is no method to investigate them without harmful procedures. We will create the technique for 3D microanatomical images of them, and investigate the in vivo internal ...

The State of High‐Resolution Imaging of the Human Inner Ear: A Look Into the Black Box

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 28, July 24, 2025.
High‐resolution imaging of the cochlea is challenged by numerous unique aspects of this organ, where sensorineural cells, crucial for hearing, are too small for conventional modalities like magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. This article reviews current imaging techniques, emerging technologies, and innovations aimed at improving ...

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 ...

First evidence of the link between internal and external structure of the human inner ear otolith system using 3D morphometric modeling

Scientific Reports, 2023
Our sense of balance is among the most central of our sensory systems, particularly in the evolution of human positional behavior. The peripheral vestibular system (PVS) comprises the organs responsible for this sense; the semicircular canals (detecting ...

Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Non‐mammaliaform synapsids (NMS) represent the closest relatives of today's mammals among the early amniotes. Exploring their brain and nervous system is key to understanding how mammals evolved. Here, using CT and Synchrotron scanning, we document for the first time three extreme cases of neurosensory and behavioral adaptations that probe ...

Otolith responses to dynamical stimuli: results of a numerical investigation [PDF]

, 2018
.: To investigate the dynamic effects of external forces on the displacement of the otolith membrane and subsequent neuronal responses of otoliths, we performed numerical analyses of otolith membrane displacements.

Otoconin-90 Deletion Leads to Imbalance but Normal Hearing: A Comparison with Other Otoconia Mutants [PDF]

, 2008
Our sense of gravitation and linear acceleration is mediated by stimulation of vestibular hair cells through displacement of otoconia in the utricle and saccule (the gravity receptor organ).

Otopathologic Patterns of Cellular Degeneration in the Peripheral Vestibular Organ Secondary to Head Trauma

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study examines vestibular degeneration following head trauma, comparing cases with and without fractures. Histopathological analysis of 26 temporal bones showed more severe damage in nonfracture cases, particularly in Scarpa's ganglion cells and vestibular hair cells.

Association between hearing loss and vestibular disorders : a review of the interference of hearing in the balance [PDF]

, 2015
Dizziness is very prevalent and makes a great impact on people’s life. Because of anatomical and functional similarities of hearing and vestibular systems, it is noted that there is a big relation between hearing loss and vestibular disorders.

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

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
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.
