Scientists and engineers have modeled a hidden mechanism in the inner ear that helps mammals balance via the fastest-known signal in the brain. The sensory organs that allow us to walk, dance and turn ...

The inner ear, a complex sensory apparatus incorporating the cochlea, semicircular canals, and otolithic organs, is pivotal for auditory perception and balance. Recent multidisciplinary research has ...

Inner ear gene therapy, using adeno-associated viral vectors (AAV), holds promise as a treatment for hearing and balance disorders. In previous studies, researchers were able to successfully target ...

HOUSTON – (Jan. 18, 2023) – The sensory organs that allow us to walk, dance and turn our heads without dizziness or loss of balance contain specialized synapses that process signals faster than any ...

The vestibular system is a network of organs in the inner ears that detects the motions and position of the head. The brain uses this information, along with inputs from the eyes and joints, to ...

You probably think balance comes from your legs, core, or inner ear, but your eyes might be the most important factor in staying upright and stable. Vision provides up to 80% of the sensory ...

(Gray News) - A recent study found the virus that causes COVID-19 can infect cells of the inner ear, including hair cells, which are critical for both hearing and balance. In a study of 10 COVID-19 ...

Vertigo affects millions of people worldwide, creating a disorienting sensation where the world seems to spin uncontrollably around them. This debilitating condition goes far beyond simple dizziness, ...
