Structural and functional connectivity of vestibular graviceptive to sensory and motor circuits.

Brain Commun

August 2025

Department of Neurology and German Center for Vertigo and Balance Disorders, LMU University Hospital, LMU Munich, Munich 81377, Germany.

Processing of vestibular graviceptive signals from the inner ear is essential for spatial perception, bipedal stance, locomotion, and navigation in a three-dimensional world. Acute unilateral ischaemic lesions along the central vestibular pathways lead to deficits of gravitational processing which can be quantified as perceptual tilts of the subjective visual vertical (SVV). For ipsiversive and contraversive directional tilts, dichotomous networks were documented from the brainstem to the thalamus.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare marginal bone loss levels between axially and angled installed implants in maxillary rehabilitation utilizing the All-on-Four concept, while also examining the impact of terminal cantilever size on implant/prosthesis set survival.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study involved 11 patients (44 implants) who received implant-supported prostheses with immediate loading. Radiographic evaluations were conducted on the day of prosthesis delivery, including panoramic and periapical radiographs, establishing the baseline (T0).

Slow dynamics of human balance control.

Sci Rep

July 2025

Department of Sport Science, Human Performance Research Centre, University of Konstanz, Konstanz, Germany.

When standing on a tilting surface, humans' sway behavior at frequencies below 0.1 Hz indicates the contribution of a slow feedback component. We suggest this may reflect a self-calibration mechanism of the balance control system, constantly referencing orientation estimates based on kinematic sensory cues to a reference based on force cues.

We demonstrate electronic sensing of DNA nanostar (NS) condensate. Specifically, we use electrokinetic nanofluidics to observe and interpret how temperature-induced NS condensation affects nanochannel current. The increase in current upon filling a nanochannel with NS condensate indicates that its electrophoretic mobility is about half that of a single NS and its effective ionic strength is ∼35% greater than that of 150 mM NaCl in phosphate buffer.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the gap balance after implantation in patients who have undergone total knee arthroplasty (TKA) via functional alignment (FA) by comparing the virtual gap in preoperative simulation. To facilitate the evaluation of balance characteristics, a control group consisted of patients who underwent anatomical alignment (AA) with the articular surfaces tilted medially and set up in neutral alignment.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 321 consecutive knees of patients with varus knee osteoarthritis who underwent primary cruciate-retaining TKA from September 2017 to July 2023.
