Vestibular and auditory disorders

This study identifies an excess of rare missense variants in SNHL genes in sporadic Meniere disease patients compared to controls.

This paper develops a light-sheet microscope to enable whole-brain calcium imaging in head-restrained zebrafish during vestibular stimulation, revealing dynamic brain responses to physiological inputs.

The paper uses fictive vestibular stimulation and whole-brain calcium imaging to map vestibular-responsive neurons in larval zebrafish, revealing widespread and diverse cellular responses.

The paper re-analyzes data from Zink et al. to show that vestibular input is processed centrally to stabilize vision when ocular torsion is insufficient.

The paper constructs a Kalman filter model to explain how a single internal model of head motion processes motor commands and sensory signals during both active and passive movements.

The paper identifies asymmetric projections of central vestibular neurons in zebrafish and shows how these projections enhance sensory encoding of nose-up stimuli while maintaining gaze stabilization.

The paper shows that caudal cerebellar vermis cells re-encode head movements into a gravity-polarized representation.
