A comparison of vestibular and auditory phenotypes in inbred mouse strains
(East Carolina University, 2006-05-26)
The purposes of this research were to quantify gravity receptor function in inbred mouse strains and compare vestibular and auditory function for strain- and age-matched animals. Vestibular evoked potentials (VsEPs) were ...
A Quantitative Survey of Gravity Receptor Function in Mutant Mouse Strains
(East Carolina University, 2005-12)
The purpose of this research was to identify vestibular deficits in mice using linear vestibular evoked potentials (VsEPs). VsEP thresholds, peak latencies, and peak amplitudes from 24 strains with known genetic mutations ...
Spontaneous Discharge Patterns in Cochlear Spiral Ganglion Cells Prior to the Onset of Hearing in Cats
(East Carolina University, 2007-10)
Spontaneous neural activity has been recorded in the auditory nerve of cats as early as 2 days postnatal (P2 ), yet individual auditory neurons do not respond to ambient sound levels below 90–100 dB SPL until about P10. ...
Resting Discharge Patterns of Macular Primary Afferents in Otoconia-Deficient Mice
(East Carolina University, 2008-12)
Vestibular primary afferents in the normal mammal are spontaneously active. The consensus hypothesis states that such discharge patterns are independent of stimulation and depend instead on excitation by vestibular hair ...
