The Vestibular System and Ageing
2019The world's population is ageing due to increased hygiene and improved medical care. Dizziness and imbalance frequently affect the elderly and is most common among individuals over the age of 60. In this age group approximately 30% of the population experience these debilitating symptoms at some point.

, 2008 The vestibular portion of the membranous labyrinth consists of three pairs of semicircular canals, the horizontal, anterior, and posterior, and two pairs of otolith organs, the utricle and the saccule (Fig. 1). Like the cochlea, these structures are filled with endolymph, which communicates with the cochlea through the ductus reuniens.

The Vestibular System in the Elderly
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1982Aging in the peripheral vestibular apparatus is shown to consist of processes similar to those occurring in other parts of the nervous system. Sensory epithelium and primary efferents degenerate and are not replaced. Type I hair cells and elements of the pars inferior are most susceptible.

Central vestibular system modulation in vestibular migraine
Cephalalgia, 2014Background Vestibular migraine affects 1% of the general population, and 30%–50% of all migraine patients describe occasionally associated vertigo or dizziness. We aimed to identify brain regions altered in vestibular migraine in order to evaluate the connection between migraine and the vestibular system.

Pharmacology of the vestibular system
Current Opinion in Neurology, 2000In the past year significant advances have been made in our understanding of the neurochemistry and neuropharmacology of the peripheral and central vestibular systems. The recognition of the central importance of excitatory amino acids and their receptors at the level of the hair cells, vestibular nerve and vestibular nucleus has progressed further ...

The vestibular system and cognition
Current Opinion in Neurology, 2017Purpose of review The last year has seen a great deal of new information published relating vestibular dysfunction to cognitive impairment in humans, especially in the elderly. The objective of this review is to summarize and critically evaluate this new evidence in the context of the previous literature.

Towards a Neuromorphic Vestibular System
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems, 2014The vestibular system plays a crucial role in the sense of balance and spatial orientation in mammals. It is a sensory system that detects both rotational and translational motion of the head, via its semicircular canals and otoliths respectively. In this work, we propose a real-time hardware model of an artificial vestibular system, implemented using ...

Neurotransmitters in the vestibular system
2016Neuronal networks that are linked to the peripheral vestibular system contribute to gravitoinertial sensation, balance control, eye movement control, and autonomic function. Ascending connections to the limbic system and cerebral cortex are also important for motion perception and threat recognition, and play a role in comorbid balance and anxiety ...

Abstract The vestibular nuclei receive a multiplicity of signals originating in the vestibular endorgans. Thousands of axons of primary vestibular neurons enter each side of the brain stem to innervate second-order neurons in four anatomically distinctive groups, located on the floor of the fourth ventricle.
