The Peripheral Vestibular System
2001Abstract The temporal bone contributes to the base and lateral wall of the skull and forms part of the middle and posterior fossae.1,2 It is divided into four parts: the squamous, tympanic, petrous, and mastoid areas. The squamous portion forms part of the lateral bony wall of the middle cranial fossa. The tympanic portion, the smallest,

Vestibular and Cochlear Systems
1987The eighth cranial nerve could, in a sense, be regarded as two separate nerves responsible for two different special senses. The vestibular portion of the nerve transmits information into the C.N.S. arising from receptors responsive to movement and gravitational force. The sense of hearing is of course the role of the cochlear nerve.

Disorders of the Vestibular System
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1988Disorders of the vestibular system are common in veterinary practice and result in a clinical syndrome characterized by head tilt, asymmetric ataxia, and nystagmus. These signs may occur with lesions involving the peripheral or central vestibular structures.

2000
The vestibular system detects the static position of the head with respect to gravity, and two types of head movements: linear acceleration in a particular direction and angular (rotational) acceleration. This information is the key to maintaining balance and for controlling eye movements to compensate for movement of the head.

The Vestibular System and the Cerebellum [PDF]
, 1979 The activity of the vestibular nuclei is continually under cerebellar control. This control includes regulation of ongoing reflexes, vestibuloocular and vestibulospinal, and an apparent role in reflex plasticity (Chapter 8). It is the vestibulocerebellum, consisting of the flocculus, nodulus, uvula, and ventral paraflocculus (Brodal, 1974), that is ...

GABAergic systems in the vestibular nucleus and their contribution to vestibular compensation
Progress in Neurobiology, 2005GABA and the GABAA and GABAB receptors play a pivotal role in the coordination of the central vestibular pathways. The commissural inhibition, which exists between the two vestibular nucleus complexes (VNCs) and which is responsible for enhancing the dynamic sensitivity of VNC neurons to head acceleration, is known to be substantially mediated by GABA ...

V is for the vestibular system…
Child Care, 2018This month, we continue our series that takes the form of an extended alphabetical adventure around the body, helping children to get to know themselves a little better.

1997
The role of the vestibular sensory organs is to transduce the forces associated with head acceleration (angular and linear acceleration, and in particular vertical linear acceleration, i.e. gravity) into a biological signal. The control centres in the brain integrate the vestibular information with information arising from other receptors, mainly ...

Metabolic disorders of the vestibular system
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1995This article reviews the impact of metabolic disorders on vestibular function. Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of glucose metabolism that can be associated with vestibular dysfunction. Vertigo can be alleviated by diet management in many cases. Elevated levels of blood lipids have been implicated in cochleovestibular disorders.

Auditory and Vestibular Systems
2012The auditory and vestibular systems often are considered together because their end organs share space within the petrous portion of the temporal bone (Fig. 16.1) and both arise from the otic vesicle. They also share the VIIIth cranial nerve, albeit the two almost completely separate divisions, auditory and vestibular classified as special somatic ...
