Challenges to the Vestibular System in Space: How the Brain Responds and Adapts to Microgravity
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021 In the next century, flying civilians to space or humans to Mars will no longer be a subject of science fiction. The altered gravitational environment experienced during space flight, as well as that experienced following landing, results in impaired ...

Natural statistics of human head orientation constrain models of vestibular processing
Scientific Reports, 2023 Head orientation relative to gravity determines how gravity-dependent environmental structure is sampled by the visual system, as well as how gravity itself is sampled by the vestibular system.

The vestibular system: A spatial reference for bodily self-consciousness
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2014 Self-consciousness is the remarkable human experience of being a subject: the ‘I’. Self-consciousness is typically bound to a body, and particularly to the spatial dimensions of the body, as well as to its location and displacement in the gravitational ...

Vestibular Modulation of Sympathetic Nerve Activity to Muscle and Skin in Humans
Frontiers in Neurology, 2017 We review the existence of vestibulosympathetic reflexes in humans. While several methods to activate the human vestibular apparatus have been used, galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) is a means of selectively modulating vestibular afferent activity ...
