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 ...

The vestibular system is integral to maintaining balance and spatial orientation, and a critical component of this network is the efferent vestibular system. This descending neuronal pathway modulates ...

The vestibular system is responsible for the sense of balance in the inner ear. Prolonged use of toxic substances, such as certain antibiotics or anticancer drugs, can damage the hair cells that form ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. If you suffer from migraines, then you know how debilitating these headaches can be. The telltale symptoms of pulsing pain, ...

Scientists identified neurons that drive the disagreeable symptoms of motion sickness in mice. Steven Jillings and Rachael Seidler will discuss the latest advances in understanding neuroplasticity and ...

A study of about 50 people with Alzheimer's disease has added to evidence that damage to the inner ear system that controls balance is a major factor in patients' well-documented higher risk of ...
