Recent studies have established that GVS evokes robust and parallel activation of both
canal and otolith afferents that is significantly different from that evoked by natural head …

Patients with bilateral vestibulopathy suffer from a variety of complaints, leading to a high
individual and social burden. Available treatments aim to alleviate the impact of this loss and …

Background Bilateral vestibular hypofunction is associated with chronic disequilibrium,
postural instability, and unsteady gait owing to failure of vestibular reflexes that stabilize the …

Balance disorders affect approximately 30% of the population throughout their lives and
result in debilitating symptoms, such as spontaneous vertigo, nystagmus, and oscillopsia …

Sensory pathways provide complex and multifaceted information to the brain. Recent

This opinion statement proposes a set of candidacy criteria for vestibular implantation of
adult patients with bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP) in a research setting. The criteria include …

The inner ear is responsible for both hearing and balance. These functions are dependent
on the correct functioning of mechanosensitive hair cells, which convert sound-and motion …

Background: This paper discusses some of the concepts and major physiological issues in
develo** a means of electrically stimulating the otolithic system, with the final goal being …

Gravity is a pervasive environmental stimulus, and accurate graviception is required for
optimal spatial orientation and postural stability. The primary graviceptors are the vestibular …

The vestibular system is integral to behavior; the loss of peripheral vestibular function leads
to disabling consequences, such as blurred vision, dizziness, and unstable posture …
