Spatial orientation, postural control and the vestibular system in healthy elderly and Alzheimer’s dementia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 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 ...

Regeneration of Hair Cells in the Human Vestibular System [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 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

Effects of Noise Exposure on the Vestibular System: A Systematic Review
Frontiers in Neurology, 2020 Despite our understanding of the impact of noise-induced damage to the auditory system, much less is known about the impact of noise exposure on the vestibular system.

Aging and the peripheral vestibular system
Journal of Otology, 2018 Whereas much has been learned about age-related auditory changes in the inner ear, relatively little is known about the aging effects on the vestibular part of the inner ear-the peripheral vestibular system. Here we review relevant literature with regard

An investigation into possible interactions in the vestibular system and the cochlea during electrical stimulation [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroscienceIntroductionThe 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.

Reviewing the Role of the Efferent Vestibular System in Motor and Vestibular Circuits
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Efferent circuits within the nervous system carry nerve impulses from the central nervous system to sensory end organs. Vestibular efferents originate in the brainstem and terminate on hair cells and primary afferent fibers in the semicircular canals and

The thalamocortical vestibular system in animals and humans [PDF]
Brain Research Reviews, 2011 International audienceThe vestibular system provides the brain with sensory signals about three-dimensional head rotations and translations. These signals are important for postural and oculomotor control, as well as for spatial and bodily perception and

Vestibular system dysfunction in patients after mild traumatic brain injury [PDF]
Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2018 Introduction In the literature there are some discrepancies concerning the occurrence of vertigo and disequilibrium, as well as the type of vestibular dysfunction in patients after mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI).

The contribution of visual and vestibular information to spatial orientation by 6- to 14-month-old infants and adults [PDF]
, 2011 Although there is much research on infants' ability to orient in space, little is known regarding the information they use to do so. This research uses a rotating room to evaluate the relative contribution of visual and vestibular information to location

Differences in the Structure and Function of the Vestibular Efferent System Among Vertebrates
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 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
