Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathway on Polarity Formation of Utricle Hair Cells

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2021
As part of the inner ear, the vestibular system is responsible for sense of balance, which consists of three semicircular canals, the utricle, and the saccule.

The blood labyrinthine barrier in the human normal and Meniere's disease macula utricle. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The ultrastructural organization of the blood labyrinthine barrier (BLB) was investigated in the human vestibular endorgan, the utricular macula, using postmortem specimens from individuals with documented normal auditory and vestibular function and ...

Molecular and functional characterization of gap junctions in the avian inner ear. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
To analyze the fundamental role of gap junctions in the vertebrate inner ear, we examined molecular and functional characteristics of gap junctional communication (GJC) in the auditory and vestibular system of the chicken.

Urothelial carcinoma within the prostatic utricle of an adult with hypospadias and Fanconi anemia

open access: yesUrology Case Reports, 2020
Prostatic utricles are rare in the general population and are often otherwise unremarkable anatomic variants. These structures are contiguous with the prostatic urethra and are nevertheless susceptible to urothelial carcinoma.

A mathematical model for top-shelf vertigo: the role of sedimenting otoconia in BPPV [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a mechanical disorder of the vestibular system in which calcite particles called otoconia interfere with the mechanical functioning of the fluid-filled semicircular canals normally used to sense rotation ...

Multiscale modeling of mechanotransduction in the utricle [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neurophysiology, 2019
We review recent progress in using numerical models to relate utricular hair bundle and otoconial membrane (OM) structure to the functional requirements imposed by natural behavior in turtles. The head movements section reviews the evolution of experimental attempts to understand vestibular system function with emphasis on turtles, including data ...

Monosynaptic targets of utricular afferents in the larval zebrafish

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2022
The larval zebrafish acquires a repertoire of vestibular-driven behaviors that aid survival early in development. These behaviors rely mostly on the utricular otolith, which senses inertial (tilt and translational) head movements.

Large prostatic utricle cyst [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ Case Reports, 2013
A 16-year-old boy was referred to us for management of recurrent urinary tract infection. He presented to the clinic with scrotal pain, low-grade fever and complaints of urinary frequency. Physical examination revealed a retrovesical mass. No other abnormality was found on physical examination.

Potential vestibular pathway impairment in children with recurrent vertigo: An investigation through air-conducted sound and galvanic vestibular stimulation-triggered vestibular evoked myogenic potentials

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2022
ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the potential vestibular pathway impairment through vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) and to explore the pathophysiological significance of these instrument-based findings in children with recurrent ...
