This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The objective of this project is to develop and test a fully implantable vestibular prosthesis in an animal model that is close to the human target population for a rehabilitative prosthesis. We have chosen to work with 10 highly trained adolescent Rhesus monkeys, Macaca Mulatta, because of the close similarity of this species to humans in terms of anatomy, physiology and behavior. In addition, much is known about the vestibular system in primates that can be applied productively to the design and execution of our study.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 该项目的目标是在动物模型中开发和测试完全植入式前庭假体，该假体接近人类康复假体的目标人群。我们选择与 10 只训练有素的青少年恒河猴（Macaca Mulatta）合作，因为该物种在解剖学、生理学和行为方面与人类非常相似。 此外，我们对灵长类动物的前庭系统了解很多，可以有效地应用于我们研究的设计和执行。
