What does galvanic vestibular stimulation actually activate: response.

TL;DR: The semicircular canal activation induced using strong GVS by Curthoys and MacDougall, which produced average slow phase eye velocities of 5° /s, was weak and functionally inconsequential.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Growing Evidence for the Importance of the Otoliths in Spatial Memory.

TL;DR: A number of studies have now indicated that the loss of otolithic function impairs normal spatial memory and also impairs the normal function of head direction cells in the thalamus and place cells inThe hippocampus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Subliminal galvanic-vestibular stimulation influences ego- and object-centred components of visual neglect

TL;DR: Subliminal galvanic vestibular stimulation modulates ego- and object-centred components of visual neglect rapidly, and implications for neurorehabilitation are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The frequency and significance of the word length effect in neglect dyslexia.

TL;DR: A clear relationship between word length and reading errors in ND is suggested and it is shown that the WLE is a frequent phenomenon in ND.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disrupted functional connectivity of the default mode network due to acute vestibular deficit.

TL;DR: FMRI in the resting state is employed to investigate changes in the functional connectivity between the DMN and task-positive networks, in a longitudinal design combined with measurements of caloric function, and demonstrates an initially disturbed connectedness of theDMN after vestibular neuritis.

Importance of body sway velocity information in controlling ankle extensor activities during quiet stance

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the actual postural control system during quiet stance adopts a control strategy that relies notably on velocity information and that such a controller can modulate muscle activity in anticipatory manner without using a feed-forward mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Task, muscle and frequency dependent vestibular control of posture

TL;DR: This review explores and integrates task-, muscle- and frequency-related differences in the vestibular system’s contribution to posture, and proposes that the human nervous system has adapted Vestibular signals to match the mechanical properties of the system that each group of muscles controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of stochastic galvanic vestibular stimulation on human postural sway.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that subjects can act as ”responders” to galvanic vestibular stimulation, and the finding that the coherency was highest for the 1- to 2-Hz stochastic vestibul stimulation signal may be due to the intrinsic dynamics of the quasi-static postural control system.

Trigeminal, Visceral and Vestibular Inputs May Improve Cognitive Functions by Acting through the Locus Coeruleus and the Ascending Reticular Activating System: A New Hypothesis.

TL;DR: The trigeminal, visceral and vestibular control of ARAS/LC activity may explain why these input signals affect sensorimotor and cognitive functions which are not directly related to their specific informational content and are effective in relieving the symptoms of some brain pathologies, thus prompting peripheral activation of these input systems as a complementary approach for the treatment of cognitive impairments and neurodegenerative disorders.
