Expression of the Gata3 transcription factor in the acoustic ganglion of the developing avian inner ear.

18 Oct 2009 During the development of the inner ear, auditory and vestibular ganglion neurons are generated in a highly regulated sequential process. First, neuroblasts are specified, delaminate from the epithelium of the otocyst, and migrate to form the ... Read more...

Vestibular asymmetry as the cause of idiopathic scoliosis: a possible answer from Xenopus.

5 Oct 2009 Human idiopathic scoliosis is characterized by severe deformations of the spine and skeleton. The occurrence of vestibular-related deficits in these patients is well established but it is unclear whether a vestibular pathology is the common cause ... Read more...

[Physical aspects of morphogenesis]

2 Sep 2009 During human morphogenesis, intrauterine liquid movements, whose amniotic fluid is at the first place, play an essential part with some unexpected consequences on the vestibular apparatus development and function. Underlying the ubiquitous ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Ear, Inner'

Definition: The essential part of the hearing organ consists of two labyrinthine compartments: the bony labyrinthine and the membranous labyrinth. The bony labyrinth is a complex of three interconnecting cavities or spaces (COCHLEA; VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH; and SEMICIRCULAR CANALS) in the TEMPORAL BONE. Within the bony labyrinth lies the membranous labyrinth which is a complex of sacs and tubules (COCHLEAR DUCT; SACCULE AND UTRICLE; and SEMICIRCULAR DUCTS) forming a continuous space enclosed by EPITHELIUM and connective tissue. These spaces are filled with LABYRINTHINE FLUIDS of various compositions.
