The vascular system and its influence under sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulations plays an essential role in neurophysiology of equilibrium.
The vestibular pathway, like other sensorial systems, has a cortical representation. In 1985 we have published our first investigation on «Variations of the cortical electrical activity during supramaximal vestibular stimulations».
The usefulness of conventional posturography when the changes of muscle tonus of the lower limbs affect position of the center of gravity which movement is measured is well known. The radius of the gravity center deflection such as length of the „way” and velocity of the movement can be calculated and compared during sequences with […]
It seems to be very interesting to compare the results of the vestibular testing and the somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) in cases with cervical diseases. This multimodal neurophysiological analysis of the patients suffering from cervical spondylosis before and after neurosurgical treatment is the first part of this long-term study.
The left ventricle is a pump which applies pressure to the circuit on an intermittent way (with each systolic ejection) and sets a pattern of pulsatile flow.
Many authors have reported different useful studies on the evaluation of the nystagmus which may be spontaneous and induced, any of these authors have been devoted to the study of vestibulo-spinal reflexes.
Last year, we have introduced in our laboratory the vestibular evoked potentials (VbEP) as a new test, in order to facilitate the neurootological diagnosis.
