Pimozide Inhibits Type II but Not Type I Hair Cells in Chicken Embryo and Adult Mouse Vestibular Organs
While providing a possible explanation for the vestibular side effects of Pimozide in humans, its inhibitory action on mammalian hair cells might be of interest for the local treatment of vestibular disorders characterized by altered vestibular input, like Ménière's disease.
