Overview

This review reveals how the vestibular system encodes self-motion and highlights implications for vestibular dysfunction treatments.

Key Points

  • The vestibular system plays a crucial role in stabilizing gaze and maintaining balance during head motion.
  • Neural pathways encode head motion context-dependently, while vestibular reflexes are suppressed during active behaviors.
  • The vestibulocerebellum modulates vestibular reflexes, enhancing motor control and adaptation following injury.
  • Emerging vestibular prostheses may significantly improve rehabilitation strategies for those with balance issues.
