The aim of this study was to examine the interaction of signals from the semicircular canals and the otolith organs during off-vertical axis rotation (OVAR). We recorded horizontal eye position using electro-oculography in 22 young normal human subjects and stimulated the vestibulo-ocular reflex with both constant velocity trapezoids and sinusoidal yaw rotations, using both earth-vertical axis rotation...
Specific cues in a sound signal are naturally linked to certain parameters in acoustic space. In the barn owl, interaural time difference (ITD) varies mainly with azimuth, while interaural level difference (ILD) varies mainly with elevation. Previous data suggested that ITD is indeed the main cue for azimuthal sound localization in this species, while ILD is an important cue for elevational sound...
Previous studies of animals observed a phenomenon of adaptation of distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) and found that the phenomenon was mediated to a large extent by the medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex. The present study investigated DPOAE adaptation in humans. The following stimuli were used: f2/f1 = 1.2; f2 = 2, 4, or 5.65 kHz; L2 = 50-65 dB SPL re 20 mPa rms, L1 - L2 = 0-15 dB, where...
Cell death has been documented in bird auditory inner ear epithelia after induced damage. This cell death is quickly followed by an increase in supporting cell division and regeneration of the epithelium, thereby suggesting a possible relationship between these two processes. However, aspects of this relationship still need to be better understood. The Belgian Waterslager (BWS) canary is an ideal...
The nucleus angularis (NA), one of the two cochlear nuclei of birds, plays an important role in the processing of sound intensity. To begin investigating the NA in detail in the barn owl, which is a popular animal model for neural mechanisms of sound localization, a frequency map for this nucleus is presented here. Focal injections of horseradish peroxidase or neurobiotin were placed either in the...
We implanted keratin and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles to the surface of mouse calvariae to produce a quantitative, localized, inflammatory bone remodeling similar to that seen in cholesteatoma. Both types of particles resulted in increased osteoclast density compared with controls. Osteoclasts infiltrated from marrow and vascular spaces and were active at the periphery of these spaces...
Subjective tinnitus is a common and often debilitating disorder that is difficult to study because it is a perceptual state without an objective stimulus correlate. Studying tinnitus in humans is further complicated by the heterogeneity of tinnitus quality, severity, and associated hearing loss. As a consequence, the pathophysiology of tinnitus is poorly understood and treatments are often unsuccessful...
The objective of this study was to compare results of quantitative head-impulse testing using search coils with eye-movement responses to caloric irrigation in patients with unilateral vestibular hypofunction after vestibular neuritis. The study population consisted of an acute group (3 days; N = 10; 5 male, 5 female; 26-89 years old) and a chronic group (2 months; N = 14; 8 male, 6 female; 26-78...
Mitochondrial dysfunction is an important cause of human deafness, implicated in genetic deafness, toxin and noise damage. We assessed the mechanism of cochlear dysfunction in a population of 11 subjects with a specific mitochondrial disorder caused by the A3243G mitochondrial DNA mutation. Psychophysical tests were carried out to assess the inner and outer hair cell functions in vivo. Inner hair...
