Sustained Loss of Bdnf Affects Peripheral but Not Central Vestibular Targets
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 The vestibular system is vital for proper balance perception, and its dysfunction contributes significantly to fall-related injuries, especially in the elderly.

Identification of Bifurcations from Observations of Noisy Biological Oscillators [PDF]
Biophysical Journal 111(4):798-812 (2016), 2016 Hair bundles are biological oscillators that actively transduce mechanical stimuli into electrical signals in the auditory, vestibular, and lateral-line systems of vertebrates. A bundle's function can be explained in part by its operation near a particular type of bifurcation, a qualitative change in behavior.

Optimizing the vertebrate vestibular semicircular canal: could we balance any better? [PDF]
, 2004 The fluid-filled semicircular canals (SCCs) of the vestibular system are used by all vertebrates to sense angular rotation. Despite masses spanning seven decades, all mammalian SCCs are nearly the same size. We propose that the SCC represents a sensory organ that evolution has `optimally designed'. Four geometric parameters are used to characterize the

Virtual-Reality based Vestibular Ocular Motor Screening for Concussion Detection using Machine-Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Sport-related concussion (SRC) depends on sensory information from visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems. At the same time, the current clinical administration of Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) is subjective and deviates among administrators.

Rehabilitation in vestibular system diseases
Неврология, нейропсихиатрия, психосоматика, 2013 Vestibular rehabilitation is an important component of combination treatment in a patient with vertigo. Vestibular rehabilitation is indicated for different diseases of the central or peripheral vestibular system. The goal of vestibular rehabilitation is

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.

A physical model suggests that hip-localized balance sense in birds improves state estimation in perching: implications for bipedal robots [PDF]
, 2018 In addition to a vestibular system, birds uniquely have a balance-sensing organ within the pelvis, called the lumbosacral organ (LSO). The LSO is well developed in terrestrial birds, possibly to facilitate balance control in perching and terrestrial ...

The vestibular contribution to the head direction cells signal and navigation
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2014 Spatial learning and navigation depend on neural representations of location and direction within the environment. These representations, encoded by place cells and head direction cells, respectively, are dominantly controlled by visual cues, but ...

High Speed Emulation in a Vehicle-in-the-Loop Driving Simulator [PDF]
, 2022 Rendering accurate multisensory feedback is critical to ensure natural user behavior in driving simulators. In this work, we present a virtual reality (VR)-based Vehicle-in-the-Loop (ViL) simulator that provides visual, vestibular, and haptic feedback to drivers in high speed driving conditions. Designing our simulator around a four-wheel steer-by-wire

Feline vestibular disorders. Part II: diagnostic approach and differential diagnosis. [PDF]
