	Equilibrioception
		Some animals are better in this than humans, for example allowing a cat (as a quadruped using its inner ear and tail) to walk on a thin fence.
		All forms of equilibrioception can be described as the detection of acceleration.
		Equilibrioception in many marine animals is done with an entirely different organ, the statocyst, which detects the position of tiny calcareous stones to determine which way is "up".

	Equilibrioception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Equilibrioception or sense of balance is one of the physiological senses.
		It is determined by the level of fluid properly called endolymph in the labyrinth - a complex set of tubing in the inner ear.

		Equilibrioception is the perception of balance and is related to cavities containing fluid in the inner ear.
		I think what we can take from this is that it's a bit arbitrary where we draw the line between senses (ie regarding taste as one sense or four), but nonetheless there are definitely senses that are not accounted for by the typically cited five.
		I don't think it's appropriate to regard equilibrioception (sense of balance) as merely a certain kind of tactile sense, as has been suggested, since if we accept this claim then we should also regard hearing as a kind of tactile sense.

	Perception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The classical five senses are sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.
		Along with these there are at least four other senses: proprioception (body awareness), equilibrioception (balance), thermoception (heat) and nociception (pain).
		Beyond these, some believe in the existence of other senses such as precognition (or foretelling) or telepathy (direct communication between human minds/brains without transmittance through any other medium).

	Gentamicin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Like all aminoglycosides, gentamicin does not pass the gastro-intestinal tract, so it can only be given intravenously or intramuscularly.
		Gentamicin can cause deafness or a loss of equilibrioception in genetically susceptible individuals.
		These individuals have a normally harmless mutation in their DNA, that allows the gentamicin to affect their cells.
