Does the middle temporal area carry vestibular signals related to self-motion?

21 Sep 2009 Recent studies have described vestibular responses in the dorsal medial superior temporal area (MSTd), a region of extrastriate visual cortex thought to be involved in self-motion perception. The pathways by which vestibular signals are conveyed to ... Read more...

Acoustic, mechanical and galvanic stimulation modes elicit ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials.

27 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: This study compared the characteristic parameters of ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMPs) elicited by the air-conducted sound (ACS) and bone-conducted vibration (BCV) stimulation modes as well as the galvanic vestibular ... Read more...

Evidence for cognitive vestibular integration impairment in idiopathic scoliosis patients.

23 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is characterized by a three-dimensional deviation of the vertebral column and its etiopathogenesis is unknown. Various factors cause idiopathic scoliosis, and among these a prominent role has been ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Reflex, Vestibulo-Ocular'

Definition: A reflex wherein impulses are conveyed from the cupulas of the SEMICIRCULAR CANALS and from the OTOLITHIC MEMBRANE of the SACCULE AND UTRICLE via the VESTIBULAR NUCLEI of the BRAIN STEM and the median longitudinal fasciculus to the OCULOMOTOR NERVE nuclei. It functions to maintain a stable retinal image during head rotation by generating appropriate compensatory EYE MOVEMENTS.
