This study shows that ototoxicity in rats causes loss of vestibular type I hair cells, which correlates with deficits in tail-lift and air-righting reflexes, with different dependencies on specific regions.

The paper investigates the relationship between hair cell integrity and vestibular function, finding that 50% of hair cells are needed for minimal function and 80% for normal function.

The paper investigates how gravity affects 3D perception across visual and haptic modalities, finding that gravity influences a shared internal representation of space.

This study investigates subchronic vestibular hair cell damage in mice, showing partial loss affects VOR and OKR, with reduced visuo-vestibular integration despite VOR recovery.

The paper shows that in larval Xenopus, eye movements during swimming develop through changes in how locomotor efference copies and sensory signals interact, with a shift from canceling to summing vestibular inputs as the animal matures.

The paper demonstrates the conservation of locomotion-induced oculomotor activity in higher tetrapods by showing similar spino-extraocular motor coupling in mice and amphibians.

The paper describes a method to functionally characterize long-range synaptic connectivity in brain slices using optogenetic stimulation and patch-clamp recordings in mice.

The paper investigates how thalamic inputs shape presubicular microcircuits in mice, revealing distinct synaptic dynamics that modulate head direction signals before they are transmitted to the medial entorhinal cortex.
