Functional implications of ubiquitous semicircular canal non-orthogonality in mammals.
PLoS ONE, 2013 The 'canonical model' of semicircular canal orientation in mammals assumes that 1) the three ipsilateral canals of an inner ear exist in orthogonal planes (i.e., orthogonality), 2) corresponding left and right canal pairs have equivalent angles (i.e ...

Measurement of Human Semicircular Canal Spatial Attitude
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Located deep in the temporal bone, the semicircular canal is a subtle structure that requires a spatial coordinate system for measurement and observation.

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 BackgroundExposure to high-performance flight stresses the vestibular system and may lead to adaptive changes in the vestibular responses of pilots. We investigated the vestibular-ocular reflex of pilots with different histories of flight exposure both ...

HSV-1 not only in human vestibular ganglia but also in the vestibular labyrinth [PDF]
, 2001 Reactivation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in the vestibular ganglion (VG) is the suspected cause of vestibular neuritis (VN). Recent studies reported the presence of HSV-1 DNA not only in human VGs but also in vestibular nuclei, a finding that ...

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 ...

Semicircular canal plane head impulses detect absent function of individual semicircular canals [PDF]
Brain, 1998 We studied the human vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) in response to head 'impulses': brief, unpredictable, passive, high-acceleration (up to 4000 degrees/s2), low-amplitude (20-30 degrees) head rotations. We delivered the head impulses approximately in the plane of the semicircular canal (SCC) being tested.

Turning semicircular canal function on its head: dinosaurs and a novel vestibular analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Previous investigations have correlated vestibular function to locomotion in vertebrates by scaling semicircular duct radius of curvature to body mass. However, this method fails to discriminate bipedal from quadrupedal non-avian dinosaurs.
