Analysis of Vestibular Hair Cell Bundle Mechanics Using Finite Element Modeling
The vestibular system of vertebrates consists of the utricle, saccule, and the semicircular canals. Head movement causes deformation of hair cell bundles in these organs, which translate this mechanical stimulus into an electrical response sent to the nervous system. This study consisted of two sec...
