Elegant sensory structures in the inner ear have evolved to measure head motion. These
vestibular receptors consist of highly conserved semicircular canals and otolith organs …

Research in the vestibular field has revealed the existence of a central process, called
'velocity storage', that is activated by both visual and vestibular rotation cues and is modified …

Cybersickness is a common and unpleasant side effect of virtual reality immersion. We
measured physiological changes that were experienced by seated subjects who interacted …

Recent findings of vestibular responses in part of the visual cortex—the dorsal medial
superior temporal area (MSTd)—indicate that vestibular signals might contribute to cortical …

Vestibular information has been traditionally considered as a specialized input for basic
orienting behaviours, such as oculo-motor adjustments, postural control and gaze …

Complex self-motion stimulations in the dark can be powerfully disorienting and can create
illusory motion percepts. In the absence of visual cues, the brain has to use angular and …

The vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve informs the brain about the linear and
angular movements of the head in space and the position of the head with respect to gravity …

Background: We analyzed the hypothesis that the vestibular and auditory systems are
integrative functions. Methods: The study involved 383 children (5.5±2.4 years old). We …

The mal de debarquement syndrome (MdDS), a continuous feeling of swaying, rocking,
and/or bobbing, generally follows travel on the sea. The associated symptoms cause …

Vertigo is a multisensory syndrome that otolaryngologists are confronted with every day.
With regard to the complex functions of the sense of orientation, vertigo is considered today …
