The Contributions of Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials and Acoustic Vestibular Stimulation to Our Understanding of the Vestibular System [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 Vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are short-latency muscle reflexes typically recorded from the neck or eye muscles with surface electrodes.

Vestibular hair cell redundancy and the critical requirement of type I cells for balance maintenance [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life SciencesVestibular hair cells (HCs) are sensory mechanotransducers essential for balance and spatial orientation, yet the relative contributions of HC number and subtype to vestibular function remain unresolved.

The effect of complex double-axis rotation model on GABAergic neurons in caudal ventrolateral medulla of rats along the vestibulo-sympathetic reflex pathway [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroanatomyIntroductionMotion sickness is a common physiological disorder induced by with unusual movement exposure, characterized by conflicting motion signals that trigger vestibulo-sympathetic reflexes (VSR).

Brain inputs to the vestibular nuclei in lampreys [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroanatomyIntroductionTo avoid image blurring, the vestibulo-ocular (VOR) and the optokinetic (OKR) reflexes stabilize gaze. In all vertebrates, the VOR is mediated via direct projections from the vestibular nuclei to the motor nuclei that control the extraocular ...

Ontogeny of mouse vestibulo-ocular reflex following genetic or environmental alteration of gravity sensing. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The vestibular organs consist of complementary sensors: the semicircular canals detect rotations while the otoliths detect linear accelerations, including the constant pull of gravity.

Developmental eye motion plasticity after unilateral embryonic ear removal in Xenopus laevis
iScience, 2022 Summary: Gaze stabilization relies on bilateral mirror-symmetric vestibular endorgans, central circuits, and extraocular motor effectors. Embryonic removal of one inner ear before the formation of these structures was used to evaluate the extent to which

Task, muscle and frequency dependent vestibular control of posture
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2015 The vestibular system is crucial for postural control; however there are considerable differences in the task dependence and frequency response of vestibular reflexes in appendicular and axial muscles.

Vestibular Modulation of Sympathetic Nerve Activity to Muscle and Skin in Humans
Frontiers in Neurology, 2017 We review the existence of vestibulosympathetic reflexes in humans. While several methods to activate the human vestibular apparatus have been used, galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) is a means of selectively modulating vestibular afferent activity ...

Vestibular physiology and function in zebrafish
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 The vestibular system of the inner ear provides information about head motion and spatial orientation relative to gravity to ensure gaze stability, balance, and postural control.

Animal Models of Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials: The Past, Present, and Future
Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 Vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) provide a simple and cost-effective means to assess the patency of vestibular reflexes. VEMP testing constitutes a core screening method in a clinical battery that probes vestibular function.
