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).

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

Farmed salmon show no pathological alterations when exposed to acoustic treatment for sea lice infestation [PDF]

, 2021
The use of bioacoustic methods to address sea lice infestation in salmonid farming is a promising innovative method but implies an exposure to sound that could affect the fish.

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.

Incorporating Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) assessment into our clinical practice [PDF]

, 2008
Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMPs) are short-latency electromyographic responses evoked by intense acoustic stimuli. They are measured in the ipsilateral, tonically-contracted sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle.

A novel ENU-induced mutation in Myo6 causes vestibular dysfunction and deafness [PDF]

, 2016
Mouse N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis has generated many useful animal models for human diseases. Here we describe the identification of a novel ENU-induced mouse mutant strain Turner (Tur) that displays circling and headtossing behavior and ...

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.

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

Development of a dynamic virtual reality model of the inner ear sensory system as a learning and demonstrating tool [PDF]

, 2009
In order to keep track of the position and motion of our body in space, nature has given us a fascinating and very ingenious organ, the inner ear. Each inner ear includes five biological sensors - three angular and two linear accelerometers - which ...

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.
