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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Basilar Artery Stenosis Presenting With Acute Onset Vertigo and Unilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Case Report

open access: yesClinical Neuroimaging, Volume 3, Issue 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is most often idiopathic or related to benign conditions such as Meniere's disease. However, SSNHL caused by vertebrobasilar ischemia is rare and may precede life‐threatening neurological deficits.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Symptoms of imbalance associated with cervical spine pathology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The goals of the present study are: to determine the prevalence of dizziness or imbalance in a population of patients with cervical-spine pathology as compared to that in the general population; to determine correlations between cervical spinal pathology

Morphometric study of the bony labyrinth of the inner ear in the European moles Talpa europaea, Talpa occidentalis, and Talpa aquitania

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 71-81, January 2026.
The study investigates the shape of the semicircular canals in the inner ear of three sister mole species—Talpa europaea, Talpa aquitania, and Talpa occidentalis—using geometric morphometrics on 58 specimens. It finds both interspecific and intraspecific variability in canal morphology, but no evidence of sexual dimorphism.

TMC function, dysfunction, and restoration in mouse vestibular organs

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

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

open access: yes, 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.

Receptor Visionaries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Sensory receptors were described and illustrated after they had been observed with the aid of microscopes. Most descriptions were made in the 19th century after the introduction of achromatic lenses in microscopes.

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

open access: yesInternational 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.

The tip-link antigen, a protein associated with the transduction complex of sensory hair cells, is protocadherin-15 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Sound and acceleration are detected by hair bundles, mechanosensory structures located at the apical pole of hair cells in the inner ear. The different elements of the hair bundle, the stereocilia and a kinocilium, are interconnected by a variety of link
