Abstract
The vestibulo-autonomic interaction refers to the neural interplay between the vestibular and autonomic systems. In particular, the vestibular system plays an active role in adjusting blood distribution during movement and changes in posture, thereby complementing the baroreflex. This review summarizes recent clinical evidence highlighting the interaction between the vestibular and autonomic systems, including altered vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials in patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, orthostatic hypotension, and neurodegenerative disorders. Additionally, the review introduces a model-based explanation of vestibular modulation of the autonomic system via the velocity storage mechanism. Specifically, the model demonstrates how vertigo attacks influence cardiovascular autonomic outflow by altering the estimation of gravity and inertia under pathological conditions.
期刊介绍:
Official publication of the Society for Research on the Cerebellum devoted to genetics of cerebellar ataxias, role of cerebellum in motor control and cognitive function, and amid an ageing population, diseases associated with cerebellar dysfunction.
The Cerebellum is a central source for the latest developments in fundamental neurosciences including molecular and cellular biology; behavioural neurosciences and neurochemistry; genetics; fundamental and clinical neurophysiology; neurology and neuropathology; cognition and neuroimaging.
The Cerebellum benefits neuroscientists in molecular and cellular biology; neurophysiologists; researchers in neurotransmission; neurologists; radiologists; paediatricians; neuropsychologists; students of neurology and psychiatry and others.
