The subjective visual horizontal for different body tilts in the roll plane : characterization of normal subjects
TLDR
The results suggest that roll tilt to the right and to the left is sensed by two independent functional units and that the perceptual horizontal in the upright position and tilt perception are complementary in reflecting vestibular function.About:

Function of semicircular canals, utricles and saccules in deaf children
TL;DR: Vestibular function tends to be preserved up to a point where hearing is nearly extinct, as hearing level correlates more closely with otolith function, especially that of the utricle, than with semicircular canal function.

Vestibular Neuritis: a Follow-up Study
Johan Bergenius,Olle Perols +1 more
TL;DR: Seven to eight years after a disease period of vestibular neuritis 19 patients previously examined at the authors' department were given a questionnaire about whether they had experienced any audiovestibular symptoms since they first fell ill, and 18 consented to participate in the long-term follow-up study.

Clinical use of subjective visual horizontal and vertical in patients of unilateral vestibular neuritis.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that SVH and SVV correlated with clinical dizziness symptoms in patients with acute unilateral vestibular neuritis and would be useful tools for the evaluation of clinical manifestations of unilateral vestigial neuritis.

Visually perceived vertical and visually perceived horizontal are not orthogonal
Grant A. Betts,Ian S. Curthoys +1 more
TL;DR: The authors examined the difference in errors made by eight subjects in setting a bar of light in an otherwise darkened room to either visually perceived vertical (VPV) or visually perceived horizontal (VPH) during maintained roll-tilted positions around the naso-occipital axis, finding VPV and VPH are not orthogonal to one another under the conditions examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
The subjective horizontal at different angles of roll-tilt in patients with unilateral vestibular impairment.
TL;DR: No significant correlation was found between the intensity of spontaneous nystagmus or the degree of caloric side difference and the deviation in setting of the light bar in upright or tilted positions, and the large asymmetric perceptual responses at tilt found at onset might be explained by the two-directional organisation of the utricle.

Physiology of Peripheral Neurons Innervating Otolith Organs of the Squirrel Monkey. I. Response to Static Tilts and to Long-Duration Centrifugal Force
César Fernández,Jay M. Goldberg +1 more
TL;DR: The response to static tilts was studied in peripheral otolith neurons in the barbiturate-anesthetized squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) to demonstrate that the sacculas in mammals functions mainly (if not solely) as an equilibrium organ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vestibular cortex lesions affect the perception of verticality
TL;DR: Although electrophysiological and cytoarchitectonic data in animals demonstrate several multisensory areas rather than a single primary vestibular cortex, the parieto‐insular vestibul cortex seems to represent the integration center of the multisENSory vestIBular cortex areas within the parietal lobe.

Ocular torsion and tilt of subjective visual vertical are sensitive brainstem signs
Marianne Dieterich,Thomas Brandt +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that pathological tilts of OT and SVV are secondary to a dysfunction of the tonic bilateral vestibular imputs that stabilize the eyes and head in normal upright position in the roll plance and dominate the authors' perception of verticality.
