vestibular organ

The research resulting from his observations made surgical treatment of vestibular organ diseases possible.

Central nystagmus occurs as a result of either normal or abnormal processes not related to the vestibular organ.

The body receives a variety of conflicting signals from the visual, somato-sensory, and vestibular organs in weightlessness.

Dark cells are specialized nonsensory epithelial cells found on either side of the vestibular organs, and lining the endolymphatic space.

One of the goals of the OART was to study vestibular organ function in space and on the Earth.

The vestibulospinal reflex uses the vestibular organs as well as skeletal muscle in order to maintain balance, posture, and stability in an environment with gravity.

Reptiles, amphibians, and fish do not have cochleas but hear with simpler auditory organs or vestibular organs, which generally detect lower-frequency sounds than the cochlea.

The vestibular system contributes to balance and sense of spatial orientation and includes the vestibular organs, ocular system, and muscular system.

The vestibular system is the balancing and equilibrium system of the body that includes the vestibular organs, ocular system, and muscular system.

Ribbon synapses are found in retinal photoreceptor cells, vestibular organ receptors, cochlear hair cells and retinal bipolar cells.

These dark-cell areas in the vestibular organ are structures involved in the production of endolymphatic fluid (endolymph), secreting potassium towards the endolymphatic fluid.

Manipulation of inertial cues confirmed that at least one of these movement (or idiothetic) cues is information from the vestibular organs, which detect movement in the three dimensions.

The caloric irrigation is the only vestibular test which allow the clinician to test the vestibular organs individually, however, it only tests one of the three semi circular canals - the horizontal canal.

Bárány theorized that the endolymph was sinking when it was cool and rising when it was warm, and thus the direction of flow of the endolymph was providing the proprioceptive signal to the vestibular organ.

In fact, T.H. Bullock contended in 1961 that the vestibular system was being ignored by most of the contemporary sensory system research, and he suggested that the equivalent stimulation of vestibular organs may yield similarly intriguing results.

Path integration in mammals makes use of the vestibular organs, which detect accelerations in the three dimensions, together with motor efference, where the motor system tells the rest of the brain which movements were commanded, and optic flow, where the visual system signals how fast the visual world moves past the eyes.
