Introduction Human multimodal vestibular cortical regions are bilaterally anterior insulae and posterior opercula, where characteristic vestibular-related cortical potentials were previously reported under acoustic otolith stimulation. Galvanic vestibular stimulation likely influences semicircular canals preferentially. Galvanic stimulation was compared to previously established data under acou...

Todd et al. (2014) have recently demonstrated the presence of vestibular dependent changes both in the morphology and in the intensity dependence of auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) when passing through the vestibular threshold as determined by vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs). In this paper we extend this work by comparing left vs. right ear stimulation and by conducting a source...

IMPORTANCE This is the first report, to our knowledge, of a child with torticollis due to saccular dysfunction. OBSERVATION An 18-month-old infant with torticollis was referred for postural imbalance and observed rotary nystagmus. The infant had undergone physical therapy treatment of left torticollis for nearly 15 months. Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) were recorded ...

OBJECTIVE To examine the properties and potential clinical uses of myogenic potentials to bone conducted sound. METHODS Myogenic potentials were recorded from normal volunteers, using bone conducted tone bursts of 7 ms duration and 250-2000 Hz frequencies delivered over the mastoid processes by a B 71 clinical bone vibrator. Biphasic positive-negative (p1n1) responses were recorded from both ...

This study aimed to examine the vestibulo-collic reflex (VCR) and linear vestibulo-ocular (lVOR) their correlation with brain lesions in pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS). The group consisted of 17 patients (34 ears) POMS (mean age 18.73 ± 2.02, mean at disease onset 14.64 1.36 years), control included 11 age-matched healthy subjects (22 ears). Ocular cervical Vestibular Evoked Myogenic...

Background and Aim: Caffeine at low doses blocks adenosine receptors. These receptors are present in all parts of the body including auditory and vestibular system. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of caffeine on cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP). Methods: In this interventional double-blind study, 40 cases (20 females and 20 males) aged 18-25 years were randomly ass...
