Efferent vestibular system in the toadfish: action upon horizontal semicircular canal afferents.
The influence of the efferent vestibular system (EVS) upon the background discharge and response dynamics of horizontal semicircular canal afferents was examined in the toadfish. In one set of experiments the EVS was activated using a behavioral paradigm; in the second, electrical shocks were applied to the efferent vestibular nucleus in the brain stem. The afferent's background discharge and r...
متن کاملRegeneration of vestibular horizontal semicircular canal afferents in pigeons.
Spontaneous regeneration of vestibular and auditory receptors and their innervating afferents in birds, reptiles, and amphibians are well known. Here, we produced a complete vestibular receptor loss and epithelial denervation using an ototoxic agent (streptomycin), after which we quantitatively characterized the afferent innervation of the horizontal semicircular canals following completed rege...
متن کاملDifferential central projections of physiologically characterized horizontal semicircular canal vestibular nerve afferents in the toadfish, Opsanus tau.
Anatomical and neurophysiological studies were undertaken to examine the central projection pattern of physiologically characterized horizontal semicircular canal vestibular nerve afferents in the toadfish, Opsanus tau. The variations in individual response characteristics of vestibular nerve afferents to rotational stimulus provided a means of typing the afferents into descriptive classes; the...
متن کاملResting discharge and response dynamics of horizontal semicircular canal afferents of the toadfish, Opsanus tau.
The response dynamics of 66 primary afferents of the horizontal semicircular canal were studied in the toadfish using sinusoidal, rotational stimuli from 0.001-10 Hz at amplitudes of 5-100 degrees/sec. Twelve afferents were also tested to constant velocity trapezoids. Responses to sinusoids were used to classify afferents into 3 broad groups: (1) low-gain afferents that maintain a relatively li...
متن کاملVestibular implantation and longitudinal electrical stimulation of the semicircular canal afferents in human subjects.
Animal experiments and limited data in humans suggest that electrical stimulation of the vestibular end organs could be used to treat loss of vestibular function. In this paper we demonstrate that canal-specific two-dimensionally (2D) measured eye velocities are elicited from intermittent brief 2 s biphasic pulse electrical stimulation in four human subjects implanted with a vestibular prosthes...
