First evidence of the link between internal and external structure of the human inner ear otolith system using 3D morphometric modeling

Scientific Reports, 2023
Our sense of balance is among the most central of our sensory systems, particularly in the evolution of human positional behavior. The peripheral vestibular system (PVS) comprises the organs responsible for this sense; the semicircular canals (detecting ...

Design and kinematic analysis of a two-DOF moving platform as a base for a car simulator

Journal of Mechatronics, Electrical Power, and Vehicular Technology, 2022
The study starts by modeling a simple 2-DOF (degrees of freedom) moving platform that employs two actuators to provide two kinds of rotational motion on the moving platform and each motion is driven by an electrical motor.

Visual gravitational motion and the vestibular system in humans [PDF]

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2013
The visual system is poorly sensitive to arbitrary accelerations, but accurately detects the effects of gravity on a target motion. Here we review behavioral and neuroimaging data about the neural mechanisms for dealing with object motion and egomotion under gravity. The results from several experiments show that the visual estimates of a target motion

The Cognitive-Vestibular Compensation Hypothesis: How Cognitive Impairments Might Be the Cost of Coping With Compensation

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
Previous research in vestibular cognition has clearly demonstrated a link between the vestibular system and several cognitive and emotional functions.

Vestibular Rehabilitation after Vestibulopathy Focusing on the Application of Virtual Reality

Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, Hearing and Balance Medicine, 2021
Human postural control is regulated by the vestibular, somatosensory, and visual systems. These types of sensory information are integrated in the central nervous system to ascertain the body’s position in space.

Model-based Vestibular Afferent Stimulation: Modular Workflow for Analyzing Stimulation Scenarios in Patient Specific and Statistical Vestibular Anatomy

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017
Our sense of balance and spatial orientation strongly depends on the correct functionality of our vestibular system. Vestibular dysfunction can lead to blurred vision and impaired balance and spatial orientation, causing a significant decrease in quality

Identification of the human cerebral cortical hemodynamic response to passive whole-body movements using near-infrared spectroscopy

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
The human vestibular system is crucial for motion perception, balance control, and various higher cognitive functions. Exploring how the cerebral cortex responds to vestibular signals is not only valuable for a better understanding of how the vestibular ...

Human Postural Control Under High Levels of Extremely Low Frequency Magnetic Fields

IEEE Access, 2020
Background: International agencies such as the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and the International Committee on Electromagnetic Safety (ICES) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) need ...

Vestibular modulation of the tail of the rat striatum

Scientific Reports, 2023
Fragmented and piecemeal evidence from animal and human studies suggests that vestibular information is transmitted to the striatum, a part of the basal ganglia that degenerates in Parkinson’s Disease.
