Motion sickness in pilot trainees: management to keep them flying.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Motion sickness is a recurrent problem in pilot schools. Many techniques to overcome motion sickness are used worldwide, mostly including sedative medication and psychotherapy. Motion sickness does not correlate with future pilot ... Read more...

Multimodal integration in rostral fastigial nucleus provides an estimate of body movement.

24 Aug 2009 The ability to accurately control posture and perceive self-motion and spatial orientation requires knowledge of the motion of both the head and body. However, whereas the vestibular sensors and nuclei directly encode head motion, no sensors ... Read more...

Vestibular signals in macaque extrastriate visual cortex are functionally appropriate for heading perception.

13 Jul 2009 Visual and vestibular signals converge onto the dorsal medial superior temporal area (MSTd) of the macaque extrastriate visual cortex, which is thought to be involved in multisensory heading perception for spatial navigation. Peripheral otolith ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Vestibule, Labyrinth'

Definition: An oval, bony chamber of the inner ear, part of the bony labyrinth. It is continuous with bony COCHLEA anteriorly, and SEMICIRCULAR CANALS posteriorly. The vestibule contains two communicating sacs (utricle and saccule) of the balancing apparatus. The oval window on its lateral wall is occupied by the base of the STAPES of the MIDDLE EAR.
