Can a Medical Device Restore Your Balance?
Richard Stephens’ brain felt as if it were jiggling around inside his skull. If he turned his head, his vision wobbled for a ...
"Discovering how vestibular reflexes come to be may help us find new ways to counter pathologies that affect balance or eye movements," says study senior author David Schoppik, PhD, associate ...
The basic connectivity from the vestibular labyrinth to the eye muscles (vestibular ocular reflex, VOR) has been elucidated in the past decade, and we summarise this in graphic format. We also ...
Bilateral vestibular hypofunction is associated with chronic disequilibrium, postural instability, and unsteady gait owing to failure of vestibular reflexes that stabilize the eyes, head, and body.
Handedness-Related Cortical Modulation of the Vestibular-Ocular Reflex. Journal of Neuroscience , 2013; 33 (7): 3221 DOI: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.2054-12.2013 Cite This Page : ...
"Discovering how vestibular reflexes come to be may help us find new ways to counter pathologies that affect balance or eye movements," says study senior author David Schoppik, Ph.D., associate ...
Supposedly 'primitive' reflexes may involve more sophisticated brain function than previously thought, according to researchers at Imperial College London. The Vestibular-Ocular Reflex (or VOR ...
"Discovering how vestibular reflexes come to be may help us find new ways to counter pathologies that affect balance or eye movements," says study senior author David Schoppik, PhD, associate ...
These reflexes within the balance system must work together to keep us on our feet. If any of these reflexes or signals fail to function, we are at risk of falling. Problems in the vestibular ...
The dancers appeared to rely less on vestibular reflexes and more on other cues, especially vision, to outperform the nondancers. These latter two studies included only a small group of people, ...
