Neurophysiology of vestibular rehabilitation [PDF]
, 2011 The vestibular system is a sophisticated human control system. Accurate processing of sensory input about rapid head and postural motion is critical. Not surprisingly, the body uses multiple, partially redundant sensory inputs and motor outputs, combined

Improvement of a face perception deficit via sub-sensory galvanic vestibular stimulation [PDF]
, 2005 The remediative effect of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) was investigated in a patient who, following right hemisphere damage, is profoundly unable to recognize faces.

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 ...

Neurogenesis and astrogenesis contribute to vestibular compensation in the neurectomized adult cat: cellular and behavioral evidence [PDF]
, 2009 Neurogenesis occurs in some regions of the adult mammalian brain and gives rise to neurons integrated into functional networks. In pathological or postlesional conditions, neurogenesis and astrogenesis can also occur, as demonstrated in the deafferented ...

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 ...

Head and trunk movement strategies in quiet stance : from the deficit of vestibular loss to the expertise of tightrope walkers via prosthetic feedback [PDF]
, 2013 Is the head more locked to the trunk or stabilised in space during quite stance? Does prosthetic vestibular feedback have a positive impact on movement strategies and muscle synergies of those with vestibular loss?

Spatio-temporal dynamics of sound-induced vestibular processing: insights from stereo-EEG recordings
NeuroImageNumerous functions rely on the activation of the vestibular system, resulting in widespread activation of cortical brain regions. However, although the topographical organization of vestibular processing is relatively well understood, the temporal ...

Beyond balance: The role of the Vestibular system in action recognition
HeliyonBackground: Action recognition is a fundamental aspect of human interaction. This process is mediated by the activation of shared sensorimotor representations during action execution and observation.
