TL;DR: The clinical and oculographic features in 240 patients with benign positional vertigo (BPV) are consistent with a peripheral, posterior semicircular canal origin of BPV.

TL;DR: A method for rapid, accurate measurement of saccade amplitude, duration, and velocity (average and maximum) was developed as a functional test of the extraocular motor system, and the two constants of this equation adequately characterized the relationship between saccades amplitude and velocity and permitted rapid statistical comparison between normal and abnormal subjects.

TL;DR: Eight noncoding single-nucleotide substitutions, two of which are present at polymorphic frequency, and a previously unrecognized first intron of CACNB4 that interrupts exon 1 at codon 21 are described, which may be considered candidate disease mutations.

TL;DR: Cerebellar infarction simulating vestibular neuritis is more common than previously thought and early recognition of the pseudo-vestibul neuritis of vascular cause may allow specific management.

TL;DR: Heterozygous C-terminal frameshift mutations in TREX1 retain exonuclease activity but lose normal perinuclear localization, which has implications for the maintenance of vascular integrity in the degenerative cerebral microangiopathies leading to stroke and dementias.
