The Vestibular System01:29

The Vestibular System

45.4K
The vestibular system is a set of inner ear structures that provide a sense of balance and spatial orientation. This system is comprised of structures within the labyrinth of the inner ear, including the cochlea and two otolith organs—the utricle and saccule. The labyrinth also contains three semicircular canals—superior, posterior, and horizontal—that are oriented on different planes.

Equilibrium and Balance01:15

Equilibrium and Balance

8.2K
The inner ear assumes dual functionalities of auditory perception and equilibrium maintenance. The vestibule is the organ responsible for balance. This organ contains mechanoreceptors, specifically hair cells, endowed with stereocilia, which aid in deciphering information regarding the position and motion of our heads. Two intrinsic components, the utricle and saccule, help perceive head position, while the semicircular canals track head movement. Neurological messages initiated in the...

Motor Unit Stimulation01:20

Motor Unit Stimulation

5.2K
When the neuron of a motor unit fires an action potential, it triggers a series of events, leading to a twitch contraction in the muscle fibers. The process of excitation-contraction coupling is crucial in relaying the action potential to the muscle fibers.
The latent period of contraction marks the onset of excitation-contraction coupling, when the action potential propagates across the sarcolemma, preparing the muscle fibers for contraction. As the fibers enter the contraction phase, the...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience
    • Integrated Circuit Design

    Background:

    • Vestibular prostheses aim to restore balance and vision stabilization by modulating neural activity.
    • Previous multichannel vestibular prosthesis (MVP) systems were large and power-intensive due to discrete components.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a compact and efficient neural-interface chip for an MVP.
    • To evaluate the performance of the new ASIC-based MVP system (MVP2A) against the previous generation (MVP2).

    Main Methods:

    • Designed and fabricated a high-voltage CMOS application-specific integrated circuit neural interface (ASIC-NI) chip.
    • Integrated the ASIC-NI with a microcontroller for biphasic stimulation pulse delivery.
    • Conducted physiological tests in rhesus monkeys to measure eye movement responses.

    Main Results:

    • The ASIC-NI chip reduced MVP system size by 48% and power consumption by 17%.
    • The ASIC-based MVP system (MVP2A) successfully elicited reflexive eye movements.
    • MVP2A performance in evoking slow phase eye velocities was statistically similar to MVP2.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed high-voltage CMOS neural-interface chip enables a smaller and more power-efficient MVP.
    • The ASIC-NI chip maintains the therapeutic efficacy of the vestibular prosthesis.
    • This advancement facilitates the development of more integrated and wearable neuroprosthetic devices.
