Key points The vestibular system is an important sensory contributor to the control of
standing balance. Fear, anxiety and arousal are thought to influence the excitability of the …

The interactive roles of the visual and vestibular systems allow for postural control within
boundaries of perceived safety. In specific circumstances, visual vestibular and postural …

Objective Strong links between anxiety, space-motion perception, and vestibular symptoms
have been recognized for decades. These connections may extend to anxiety-related …

We investigated how vestibulo-spinal reflexes (VSRs) and vestibulo-ocular reflexes (VORs)
measured through vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) and video head impulse …

Introduction Standing upright at height is a challenging situation involving intense threat of
balance loss and fall. The ability to maintain balance in such conditions requires properly …

Standing balance is often threatened in everyday life. These threats typically involve
scenarios in which either the likelihood or the consequence of falling is higher than normal …

Abstract Information on the distribution and biology of the G-protein coupled receptor 4
(GPR4) in the brain is limited. It is currently thought that GPR4 couples to G s proteins and …

Elevated levels of stress and anxiety often accompany vestibular dysfunction, while
conversely complaints of dizziness and loss of balance are common in patients with panic …

The vestibular system is a sensory system that has evolved to detect linear and angular
acceleration of the head in all planes so that the brain is not predominantly reliant on visual …

Psychological processes may influence balance and contribute to the risk of falls in older
people. While a self-reported fear of falling is associated with increased postural sway …
