The Mechanics of the Growing Semicircular Canal [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1973 ABSTRACT The motion of the endolymph in the semicircular canal is described with the aid of a linear second-order system, comprising the applied angular acceleration and the linear displacement, the linear velocity and the linear acceleration of the endolymph.

Design and analysis of HSC-BPPV diagnostic maneuver based on virtual simulation
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 BackgroundThe preferred supine roll test for the diagnosis of horizontal semicircular canal BPPV has several disadvantages, including difficulty in locating the affected ear, inconsistent nystagmus performance on repeated testing, and lack of a typical ...

Philippine Journal of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, 2011 Superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD) syndrome is an unusual cause of vertigo that was first identified by Minor in 1998. The patients initially described by Minor presented with vertigo, oscillopsia, and/or dysequilibrium related to sound ...

Semicircular canals in Anolis lizards: ecomorphological convergence and ecomorph affinities of fossil species [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Anolis lizards are a model system for the study of adaptive radiation and convergent evolution. Greater Antillean anoles have repeatedly evolved six similar forms or ecomorphs: crown-giant, grass-bush, twig, trunk, trunk-crown and trunk-ground.

LRRC8A Regulates Outer Hair Cell Volume and Electromotility and is Required for Hearing
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies LRRC8A‐dependent volume‐regulated anion channels (VRACs) as essential for cochlear outer hair cells' electromotility and auditory signal amplification. LRRC8A deficiency disrupts cell volume control, impairs auditory sensitivity, and causes deafness, while targeted LRRC8A re‐expression restores auditory function.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work shows, for the first time, that the stereocilia membrane in cochlear hair cells is dynamically regulated by the mechanotransduction channel to impact the membrane mechanical properties. This work provides direct evidence that the opening and closing associated with the MET channel is regulating the membrane viscosity suggesting that the MET ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Comparative cochlear transcriptomics of noise‐exposed bats (Miniopterus fuliginosus) and mice reveals bat‐specific protection mechanisms for noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), identifying Hras as a key hub regulator. Functional studies in mice show hair‐cell‐specific Hras overexpression significantly reduced hair‐cell damage and NIHL by activating the ...
