Sustained and Transient Vestibular Systems: A Physiological Basis for Interpreting Vestibular Function

Abstract: Otolithic afferents with regular resting discharge respond to gravity or low-frequency linear accelerations, and we term these the static or sustained otolithic system. However, in the otolithic sense organs, there is anatomical differentiation across the maculae and corresponding physiological differentiation. A specialized band of receptors called the striola consists of mainly type I receptors whose hair bundles are weakly tethered to the overlying otolithic membrane. The afferent neurons, which form calyx … Show more

“…Because sound activation of saccule and utricle produce cervical and ocular VEMPs, respectively, it is not inconceivable that resonant energy in that range could affect vestibular function. In fact, the occupational health literature indicates that intense ultrasonic radiation can produce “a syndrome involving manifestations of nausea, headache, tinnitus, pain, dizziness, and fatigue …”

“…In fact, the occupational health literature indicates that intense ultrasonic radiation can produce "a syndrome involving manifestations of nausea, headache, tinnitus, pain, dizziness, and fatigue. 13,14 The potential mechanisms for injury by incident energy include cavitation bubble formation in body fluids. Cavitation bubbles can be produced in aqueous solutions by directed energy sources.…”

“…8c, d). Power spectra of head movements revealed higher power for Cyp26b1 cKO mutants than controls at high frequency (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) Hz) for all six dimensions (Fig. 8e, f).…”

“…Next, we tested whether the VOR was also affected in the Cyp26b1 cKO mutants based on the hypothesis that the striolar/central zone is important for vestibular-reflex function 13,20 . The VOR plays an important role in ensuring gaze stabilization during everyday activities by producing compensatory eye movements in the opposite direction of the head movement 39 .…”
