The Visual Umwelt of primates and Hippocampal Representations of Space
ABSTRACT Evolution sculpts the brain's sensory adaptations. Because these adaptations differ markedly across species, it is challenging for humans to fully comprehend how other animals perceive the world. For a nocturnal mouse, the subjective sensory world—its Umwelt—is dominated by odors, sounds, and textures, with visual input playing a secondary ...

The study investigates the shape of the semicircular canals in the inner ear of three sister mole species—Talpa europaea, Talpa aquitania, and Talpa occidentalis—using geometric morphometrics on 58 specimens. It finds both interspecific and intraspecific variability in canal morphology, but no evidence of sexual dimorphism.

Visual and vestibular reweighting after cyber‐ and space‐sickness
Abstract Sensory conflicts are widely recognized as the primary drivers of motion sickness (MS), though the underlying integrative processes remain poorly understood. This study investigated sensory reweighting following exposure to two different sensory conflict paradigms. Visual and vestibular reflexes were assessed before and after sensory conflict.

Space adaptation syndrome experiments (8-IML-1) [PDF]
A set of seven experiments will study adaptation of the human nervous system to weightlessness. Particular emphasis will be placed on the vestibular and proprioceptive systems.

Neuromotor changes in postural control following bed rest
Abstract figure legend Prolonged bed rest (BR) (both horizontal and head‐down tilt) leads to neuromotor adaptations that impair postural control. Structural and functional changes occur in the brain, including a reduction in grey and white matter volume, alterations in functional connectivity, and shifts in cerebrospinal fluid distribution.

Studies of the vestibulo-ocular reflex on STS 4, 5 and 6 [PDF]
The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) may be altered by weightlessness. Since this reflex plays a large role in visual stabilization, it was important to document any changes caused by space flight. This is a report on findings on STS-4 through 6 and is part

Eye and head motion during head turns in spaceflight [PDF]
Eye-head motion was studied pre-, in- and postflight during single voluntary head turns. A transient increase in vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain occurred early in the flight, but later trended toward normal.

Predictors of clinical recovery from vestibular neuritis: a prospective study [PDF]
We sought to identify predictors of symptomatic recovery in Vestibular Neuritis (VN). Forty VN patients were prospectively studied in the acute phase (median=2 days) and 32 in the recovery phase (median=10 weeks) with vestibulo-ocular reflex, vestibular ...

Floccular fossa size is not a reliable proxy of ecology and behaviour in vertebrates
The cerebellar floccular and parafloccular lobes are housed in fossae of the periotic region of the skull of different vertebrates. Experimental evidence indicates that the lobes integrate visual and vestibular information and control the vestibulo ...
