The vestibular system provides the sensory inputs needed for balance and orientation. Residing in the inner ear, it consists of distinct physical structures that are responsive to rotation (the semicircular canals) and linear acceleration (the otoliths). Like all complex biological systems, the vesibular system becomes dysfunctional with age. This dysfunction leads to loss of balance and increased incidence of falls, a potentially life-threatening event when taking place in an already frail older population.
Today’s open access paper is an interesting look at how the otolith ages into dysfunction, evaluating the response to acc…
