Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation Produces Sensations of Rotation Consistent with Activation of Semicircular Canal Afferents
axis of real rotation (i.e., with the head pitched fully up or down). With the head close to the neutral position, such that Reid’s plane was tilted 18.8° above horizontal (i.e., slight nose-up tilt), the effect of GVS upon rotation sensation was zero. This suggests that GVS evokes a sensation of head roll around a naso-occipital axis. Using a modeling approach, the authors elegantly demonstrat...
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 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...

متن کاملVestibuloocular reflex adaptation investigated with chronic motion-modulated electrical stimulation of semicircular canal afferents.
To investigate vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) adaptation produced by changes in peripheral vestibular afference, we developed and tested a vestibular "prosthesis" that senses yaw-axis angular head velocity and uses this information to modulate the rate of electrical pulses applied to the lateral canal ampullary nerve. The ability of the brain to adapt the different components of the VOR (gain, ph...
