脳に原因がある高齢者の慢性めまい：中枢性めまいの慢性化のメカニズム

Abstract

Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), one of brainstem reflexes that maintains balance, is controlled by the cerebellum. This cerebellar control system of VOR is further coordinated by the cerebrum (e.g., visual suppression of VOR). Therefore, in central lesions, dysregulated, abnormally increased VOR gain may be the underlying pathology of chronic dizziness, unlike in peripheral vestibulopathy, which always involves decreased VOR gain.
