The Visual Umwelt of primates and Hippocampal Representations of Space

Hippocampus, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Evolution sculpts the brain's sensory adaptations. Because these adaptations differ markedly across species, it is challenging for humans to fully comprehend how other animals perceive the world. For a nocturnal mouse, the subjective sensory world—its Umwelt—is dominated by odors, sounds, and textures, with visual input playing a secondary ...

Electrical vestibular stimulation in humans. A narrative review [PDF]

, 2019
Background: In patients with bilateral vestibulopathy, the regular treatment options, such as medication, surgery, and/ or vestibular rehabilitation, do not always suffice. Therefore, the focus in this field of vestibular research shifted to electri-

Morphometric study of the bony labyrinth of the inner ear in the European moles Talpa europaea, Talpa occidentalis, and Talpa aquitania

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 71-81, January 2026.
The study investigates the shape of the semicircular canals in the inner ear of three sister mole species—Talpa europaea, Talpa aquitania, and Talpa occidentalis—using geometric morphometrics on 58 specimens. It finds both interspecific and intraspecific variability in canal morphology, but no evidence of sexual dimorphism.

NEUROSENSORY DIFFERENTIATION AND INNERVATION PATTERNING IN THE HUMAN FOETAL VESTIBULAR END ORGANS BETWEEN THE GESTATIONAL WEEKS 8 TO 12

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2016
Balance orientation depends on the precise operation of the vestibular end organs and the vestibular ganglion neurons. Previous research on the assemblage of the neuronal network in the developing foetal vestibular organ has been limited to data from ...

Comparison between ocular-evoked and cervical-evoked myogenic potentials in adults with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss

Al-Azhar Assiut Medical Journal, 2020
Background The cochlea and the vestibule share the continuous membranous labyrinth of the inner ear. Moreover, there is great similarity between the cochlear and vestibular hair cell ultrastructures and the common arterial blood supply of the cochlea and

Plasticity of histamine H3 receptor expression and binding in the vestibular nuclei after labyrinthectomy in rat [PDF]

, 2004
Background: In rat, deafferentation of one labyrinth (unilateral labyrinthectomy) results in a characteristic syndrome of ocular and motor postural disorders (e.g., barrel rotation, circling behavior, and spontaneous nystagmus). Behavioral recovery (e.g.,

Impact of Balance and Dizziness Problems on Falls in Older Adults: The Longitudinal AGES‐Reykjavik Study

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 10, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the impact of balance and dizziness problems (BDP) and other risk factors on falls in a longitudinal, population‐based cohort of older adults. Methods The Age, Gene/Environment Susceptibility‐Reykjavik Study (AGES‐RS I) 2002–2006 examined 5764 adults aged 66–98. Five years later, 3316 surviving subjects were reexamined
