Conceptual rethinking of whole-body perturbation-evoked potentials as a biomarker of extralemniscal sensory transmission, alertness and arousal

Key Result

Whole-body perturbation-evoked potentials may reflect a supramodal sensory pathway signaling salience and sensory urgency during postural destabilization, rather than just posture-specific processing.

Key Points

• The aim is to explore how whole-body perturbation-evoked potentials can serve as biomarkers for sensory transmission and alertness.
• Conceptual analysis of perturbation-evoked responses
• Exploration of the extralemniscal system
• Evaluation of implications for postural control and sensory processing.
• Establishes a link between perturbation-evoked potentials and extralemniscal sensory transmission.
• Highlights the role of these potentials in enhancing alertness and arousal.
• Suggests potential applications for assessing postural control.
