This federal Project Grant award under the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) provides $414,011 in funding to James Madison University to conduct research on nonlinearities in human vestibular reflexes. The goal of the research is to assess age-related changes in the vestibular system and improve clinical diagnosis and rehabilitation for balance disorders in adult patients. Specifically, the project will use novel electrophysiological methods to identify nonlinearities in cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials, which reflect the functioning of the otolith balance organs. The research aims to characterize how these nonlinear response properties change with aging and relate to balance function. The findings from this 5-year project will help create an early-detection model of vestibular degradation and develop phenotyping of vestibular aging, in order to improve assessment and treatment of balance disorders.
