Modeling of patient-specific three semicircular canals
The semicircular canals (SCC) are fluid-filled inner ear structures designed to detect circular or angular motion. In this study we modeled three-dimensional biomechanical model of SCC and compared results with real patient case for the Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) disease. The model consists of full 3D fluid-structure interaction incorporating particles, wall, cupula deformation...
متن کاملThe dimensions and sensitivities of semicircular canals.
With this definition it is possible to compare the mechanical sensitivities of all semicircular canals. For this purpose three different approaches seem feasible. (1) The effect of growth of one particular semicircular canal on G in one species. (2) Comparison of values of G for the three semicircular canals in one species. (3) Comparison of values of G of the horizontal canal in different spec...
متن کاملPosture control in Pusher syndrome: influence of lateral semicircular canals.
UNLABELLED Pusher syndrome is an interesting disorder of balance in patients with encephalic lesions characterized by the peculiar behavior of actively pushing away from the non-hemiparetic side and resisting against passive correction, with a tendency to fall toward the paralyzed side. The role of vestibular system on the pushing behavior is not clear. AIM To evaluate horizontal semicircular...
متن کاملHair-cell versus afferent adaptation in the semicircular canals.
The time course and extent of adaptation in semicircular canal hair cells was compared to adaptation in primary afferent neurons for physiological stimuli in vivo to study the origins of the neural code transmitted to the brain. The oyster toadfish, Opsanus tau, was used as the experimental model. Afferent firing-rate adaptation followed a double-exponential time course in response to step cupu...
متن کاملMechanical amplification by hair cells in the semicircular canals.
Sensory hair cells are the essential mechanotransducers of the inner ear, responsible not only for the transduction of sound and motion stimuli but also, remarkably, for nanomechanical amplification of sensory stimuli. Here we show that semicircular canal hair cells generate a mechanical nonlinearity in vivo that increases sensitivity to angular motion by amplification at low stimulus strengths...
