  • A comparison of vestibular and auditory phenotypes in inbred mouse strains 

    Jones, Sherri M.; Jones, Timothy A.; Johnson, Kenneth R.; Yu, Heping; Erway, Lawrence C.; Zheng, Qing Y. (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 ...

  • Generators of mammalian vestibular surface responses to head motion 

    Gaines, Gary Christopher (East Carolina University, 2012)
    The linear vestibular sensory evoked potential (VsEP) is thought to be the compound electrical response of peripheral macular neurons and central neural relays, and as such used to directly assess macular function. The ...

  • A Quantitative Survey of Gravity Receptor Function in Mutant Mouse Strains 

    Jones, Sherri M.; Johnson, Kenneth R.; Yu, Heping; Erway, Lawrence C.; Alagramam, Kumar N.; Pollak, Natasha; Jones, Timothy A. (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 ...

  • Resting Discharge Patterns of Macular Primary Afferents in Otoconia-Deficient Mice 

    Jones, Timothy A.; Jones, Sherri M.; Hoffman, L. F. (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 ...

  • Spontaneous Discharge Patterns in Cochlear Spiral Ganglion Cells Prior to the Onset of Hearing in Cats 

    Jones, Timothy A.; Leake, Patricia A.; Snyder, Russell L.; Stakhovskaya, Olga; Bonham, Ben (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. ...
