Vestibular dysfunction was shown to be a determinant of imbalance in Parkinson disease independent from visual and somatosensory processing changes and nigrostriatal dopaminergic losses. Imbalance in ...

Study results indicate abnormalities in the vestibular cortical network may help researchers understand the underlying mechanisms of vestibular migraine. Functional connectivity (FC) between regions ...

Two recent papers demonstrate that the vestibular system transforms raw sensory data into a sophisticated internal model of head orientation and movement. You have full access to this article via your ...

Integration of multiple sensory cues is crucial for adaptive behaviour, but understanding its neural basis has been hampered by a divergence in the literature into two largely non-overlapping ...

Maximilian U. Friedrich is receiving the 2024 Jung Career Advancement Award for Medical Research for his research into the brain’s sense of balance What do sound engineering, civilian service and a ...

Finding out what's happening in the brains of people with balance disorders, such as vertigo, might be one step closer following new research on the vestibular system, which controls balance and ...

A pivotal observational study provides compelling evidence linking vestibular dysfunction to cognitive decline in the elderly, suggesting that impaired balance and spatial orientation may serve as an ...

The connection between sensory impairment and cognitive aging is a growing area of research. While hearing loss is an established risk factor for ...

In a study published in Cerebral Cortex on September 26, scientists from Imperial College London showed that, during a test of vestibular function, trained ballerinas’ perception and physical symptoms ...
