How Peripheral Vestibular Damage Affects Velocity Storage: a Causative Explanation

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader How Peripheral Vestibular Damage Affects Velocity Storage: a Causative Explanation via JARO - Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology via MedWorm.com AbstractVelocity storage is a centrally-mediated mechanism that processes peripheral vestibular inputs. One prominent aspect of velocity storage is its effect on dynamic responses to yaw rotation. Specifically, when normal human subjects are accelerated to constant angular yaw velocity, horizontal eye movements and perceived angular velocity decay exponentially with a time constant circa 15 –30 s, even though the input from the vestibular periphery decays much faster (~ 6 s). Peripheral vestibular damage causes a time constant reduction, which is useful for clinical diagnoses, but a mechanistic explanation for the relationship between vestibular damage and changes in these behavi oral dynamics is lacking. It has been hypothesized that Bayesian optimization determines ideal velocity s... View on Web
