Body sway responses to pseudorandom support surface translations of vestibular loss subjects resemble those of vestibular able subjects [PDF]
Body sway responses evoked by a horizontal acceleration of a level and firm support surface are particular in that the vestibular information on body-space angle BS resembles the proprioceptive information on body-foot angle BF. We compared corresponding eyes-closed responses of vestibular-able (VA) and vestibular-loss (VL) subjects, postulating a ...

The α9-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α9-nAChR) subunit is expressed in the vestibular and auditory periphery, and its loss of function could compromise peripheral input from the predominantly cholinergic efferent vestibular system (EVS).

REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH VESTIBULAR DISORDERS
Vestibular disorders are one of the most common causes of dizziness and loss of stability. Rehabilitation of patients with vestibular disorders is based on identifying the underlying disease and its effective treatment.

Reducing cybersickness in 360-degree virtual reality [PDF]
Despite the technological advancements in Virtual Reality (VR), users are constantly combating feelings of nausea and disorientation, the so called cybersickness. Cybersickness symptoms cause severe discomfort and hinder the immersive VR experience. Here we investigated cybersickness in 360-degree head-mounted display VR.

Vestibular heading discrimination and sensitivity to linear acceleration in head and world coordinates [PDF]
Effective navigation and locomotion depend critically on an observer\u27s ability to judge direction of linear self-motion, i.e., heading. The vestibular cue to heading is the direction of inertial acceleration that accompanies transient linear movements.

Scaling-violation phenomena and fractality in the human posture control systems [PDF]
By analyzing the movements of quiet standing persons by means of wavelet statistics, we observe multiple scaling regions in the underlying body dynamics. The use of the wavelet-variance function opens the possibility to relate scaling violations to different modes of posture control.

Koos Classification of Vestibular Schwannoma via Image Translation-Based Unsupervised Cross-Modality Domain Adaptation [PDF]
The Koos grading scale is a classification system for vestibular schwannoma (VS) used to characterize the tumor and its effects on adjacent brain structures. The Koos classification captures many of the characteristics of treatment deci-sions and is often used to determine treatment plans.

Vestibular inputs to premotor interneurons in the feline C1-C2 spinal cord [PDF]
The resting length of respiratory muscles must be altered during changes in posture in order to maintain stable ventilation. Prior studies showed that although the vestibular system contributes to these adjustments in respiratory muscle activity, the ...
