Vestibulospinal reflexes elicited with a tone burst method are dependent on spatial orientation [PDF]
PeerJBalance involves several sensory modalities including vision, proprioception and the vestibular system. This study aims to investigate vestibulospinal activation elicited by tone burst stimulation in various muscles and how head position influences these

Head movements evoked in alert rhesus monkey by vestibular prosthesis stimulation: implications for postural and gaze stabilization. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The vestibular system detects motion of the head in space and in turn generates reflexes that are vital for our daily activities. The eye movements produced by the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) play an essential role in stabilizing the visual axis (gaze),

Temporal and spatial properties of vestibular signals for perception of self-motion
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 It is well recognized that the vestibular system is involved in numerous important cognitive functions, including self-motion perception, spatial orientation, locomotion, and vector-based navigation, in addition to basic reflexes, such as oculomotor or ...

Vestibular modulation of spatial perception [PDF]
, 2013 Vestibular inputs make a key contribution to the own sense of spatial location. While the effects of vestibular stimulation on visuo-spatial processing in neurological patients have been extensively described, the normal contribution of vestibular ...

Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in practice: Methods, pitfalls and clinical applications
Clinical Neurophysiology Practice, 2019 Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are a useful and increasingly popular component of the neuro-otology test battery. These otolith-dependent reflexes are produced by stimulating the ears with air-conducted sound or skull vibration and ...

Quantitative assessment of anti-gravity reflexes to evaluate vestibular dysfunction in rats [PDF]
, 2020 The tail-lift reflex and the air-righting reflex are anti-gravity reflexes in rats that depend on vestibular function. To obtain objective and quantitative measures of performance, we recorded these reflexes with slow-motion video in two experiments.

The contribution of visual and vestibular information to spatial orientation by 6- to 14-month-old infants and adults [PDF]
, 2011 Although there is much research on infants' ability to orient in space, little is known regarding the information they use to do so. This research uses a rotating room to evaluate the relative contribution of visual and vestibular information to location

Age-Related Vestibular Loss: Current Understanding and Future Research Directions
Frontiers in Neurology, 2016 The vestibular system sub-serves a number of reflex and perceptual functions, comprising the peripheral apparatus, the vestibular nerve, the brainstem and cerebellar processing circuits, the thalamic relays, and the vestibular cerebral cortical network ...

Cross-modal sensory signaling shapes vestibulo-motor circuit specificity [PDF]
, 2015 The ability to continuously adjust posture and balance is necessary for reliable motor behavior. Vestibular and proprioceptive systems influence postural adjustments during movement by signaling functionally complementary sensory information. Using
