Regeneration of Hair Cells in the Human Vestibular System [PDF]
The vestibular system is a critical part of the human balance system, malfunction of this system will lead to balance disorders, such as vertigo. Mammalian vestibular hair cells, the mechanical receptors for vestibular function, are sensitive to ototoxic

Spatial orientation, postural control and the vestibular system in healthy elderly and Alzheimer’s dementia [PDF]
Background While extensive research has been advancing our understanding of the spatial and postural decline in healthy elderly (HE) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), much less is known about how the vestibular system contributes to the spatial and postural ...

An investigation into possible interactions in the vestibular system and the cochlea during electrical stimulation [PDF]
IntroductionThe vestibular system is crucial for balance, spatial orientation, and gaze stabilization. Bilateral vestibulopathy (BV) severely impairs these functions, often co-occurring with severe to profound hearing loss.

Differences in the Structure and Function of the Vestibular Efferent System Among Vertebrates
The role of the mammalian vestibular efferent system in everyday life has been a long-standing mystery. In contrast to what has been reported in lower vertebrate classes, the mammalian vestibular efferent system does not appear to relay inputs from other

Vestibular Perception following Acute Unilateral Vestibular Lesions. [PDF]
Little is known about the vestibulo-perceptual (VP) system, particularly after a unilateral vestibular lesion. We investigated vestibulo-ocular (VO) and VP function in 25 patients with vestibular neuritis (VN) acutely (2 days after onset) and after ...

Roles of the vestibular system in obesity and impaired glucose metabolism in high-fat diet-fed mice.
The vestibular system controls balance, posture, blood pressure, and gaze. However, the roles of the vestibular system in energy and glucose metabolism remain unknown.

Neuropharmacological targets for drug action in vestibular sensory pathways [PDF]
The use of pharmacological agents is often the preferred approach to the management of vestibular dysfunction. In the vestibular sensory pathways, the sensory neuroepithelia are thought to be influenced by a diverse number of neuroactive substances that ...
