Introduction The advent of the video head impulse test (vHIT) enables the study of each one of the six semicircular canals. In the present study, certain patients present disorders related only to the ...

The researchers pointed out that this group of connecting cells represents a small and specialized subset of the total nerve cells in the insula. They suppressed the two-way pathways of these ...

Vestibular neuritis: This condition occurs when the inner ear nerves become inflamed, causing acute vertigo. The initial phase brings constant vertigo for two days to one week. After that, vertigo may ...

Using anterograde mono-trans-synaptic tracing, we elucidate cerebrocerebellar pathways originating from primary motor, sensory, and association cortex. We confirm a highly organized topography of ...

What Is Vestibular Disease? The vestibular system in dogs is a complex array of structures involving the inner ear, cranial nerves, and the brain. This system is responsible for maintaining balance, ...

Researchers have mapped the connections – called synapses – between all the nerve cells in the nervous system of a simple worm called Caenorhabditis elegans. Cells communicate by releasing chemicals ...

(2012b). The central nervous system vestibular pathway consists of: (i) vestibular nerve projections from the vestibular organs to the vestibular nucleus in the brainstem; (ii) projections from the ...

Abbreviations: 6, abducens nucleus; 8vn, vestibular nerve; 8n, vestibulo-cochlear nerve ... of the major cell groups mediating vestibulo-autonomic (red) and baroreflex pathways (green). Although there ...
