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.

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.

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 ...
