Neurons of the adjacent vestibular ganglia monitor the hair cells in these ducts.

The vestibular ganglion houses the cell bodies of the bipolar neurons and extends processes to five sensory organs.

The ganglion gradually splits into two parts, the vestibular ganglion and the spiral ganglion.

Some cases of vestibular neuronitis are thought to be caused by an infection of the vestibular ganglion by the Herpes Simplex type 1 virus.

Results Brn3c null mutants at birth (P0) Vestibular ganglia are smaller in Brn3c null mutants (Fig.

It arises from bipolar cells in the vestibular ganglion, ganglion of Scarpa, which is situated in the upper part of the outer end of the internal auditory meatus.

In humans the vestibular nerve transmits sensory information transmitted by vestibular hair cells located in the two otolith organs (the utricle and the saccule) and the three semicircular canals via the vestibular ganglion.
