Overview. Neurologists are frequently called upon to evaluate patients with vertigo and dizziness and, in some cases, to make sense of abnormal vestibular tests. Consequently, it is useful to have some familiarity with the methods used to... more
Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) abnormalities in cerebellar ataxias are a matter of renewed interest. We have previously reported vestibular areflexia in a group of Yemenite-Jews with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 (SCA3) who had clear... more
Vestibular reflexes act to stabilize the head and eyes in space during locomotion. Head stability is essential for postural control, whereas retinal image stability enhances visual acuity and may be essential for an animal to distinguish... more
The vestibulo-ocular reflex was studied at high frequencies of active head rotation (2 to 6 Hz) in twenty-three patients with benign positional vertigo (BPPV). Gain and phase measurements were obtained in the vertical and horizontal... more
Abstruct- We present a comlbined head-eye tracking system suitable for use with free head imovement during natural activ- ities. This system provides an integrated head and eye position measurement while allowing for a large range of head... more
The contribution of neck proprioceptive signals to signal processing in the vestibular nucleus was studied by recording responses of secondary horizontal canal-related neurons to neck rotation in the squirrel monkey. Responses evoked by... more
Background and Aim: Several studies have shown the anatomical associations between the vestibular system and cognitive processes, especially spatial memory. One of the first problems that occur in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is spatial... more
It is well known that vergence movements are important for distance appreciation, depth vision and stereopsis. Moreover, vergence movements are very probably used by the CNS during head and body motion to adjust the gain of the... more
