The vestibular system of the owl
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1972Abstract 1. 1. Owls have a curious variability in the postrotatory head nystagmus following abrupt angular deceleration. 2. 2. Owls can exhibit a remarkable head stability during angular movement of the body about any axis passing through the skull. 3. 3.

The search for understanding the vestibular system continues. When this tiny organ system is disordered, it causes symptoms so distressing to the patient that he is frequently immobilized. Little wonder, then, that research in the field proliferates at a rate that sometimes causes an information gap between the scientist and the clinician.

, 2008 The vestibular portion of the membranous labyrinth consists of three pairs of semicircular canals, the horizontal, anterior, and posterior, and two pairs of otolith organs, the utricle and the saccule (Fig. 1). Like the cochlea, these structures are filled with endolymph, which communicates with the cochlea through the ductus reuniens.

The Vestibular System in the Elderly
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1982Aging in the peripheral vestibular apparatus is shown to consist of processes similar to those occurring in other parts of the nervous system. Sensory epithelium and primary efferents degenerate and are not replaced. Type I hair cells and elements of the pars inferior are most susceptible.

Pharmacology of the vestibular system
Current Opinion in Neurology, 2000In the past year significant advances have been made in our understanding of the neurochemistry and neuropharmacology of the peripheral and central vestibular systems. The recognition of the central importance of excitatory amino acids and their receptors at the level of the hair cells, vestibular nerve and vestibular nucleus has progressed further ...

Towards a Neuromorphic Vestibular System
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems, 2014The vestibular system plays a crucial role in the sense of balance and spatial orientation in mammals. It is a sensory system that detects both rotational and translational motion of the head, via its semicircular canals and otoliths respectively. In this work, we propose a real-time hardware model of an artificial vestibular system, implemented using ...

Abstract The vestibular nuclei receive a multiplicity of signals originating in the vestibular endorgans. Thousands of axons of primary vestibular neurons enter each side of the brain stem to innervate second-order neurons in four anatomically distinctive groups, located on the floor of the fourth ventricle.

Neurotransmitters in the vestibular system
2016Neuronal networks that are linked to the peripheral vestibular system contribute to gravitoinertial sensation, balance control, eye movement control, and autonomic function. Ascending connections to the limbic system and cerebral cortex are also important for motion perception and threat recognition, and play a role in comorbid balance and anxiety ...

The Peripheral Vestibular System
2001Abstract The temporal bone contributes to the base and lateral wall of the skull and forms part of the middle and posterior fossae.1,2 It is divided into four parts: the squamous, tympanic, petrous, and mastoid areas. The squamous portion forms part of the lateral bony wall of the middle cranial fossa. The tympanic portion, the smallest,
