The role of vestibular afferent input in systemic interactions of cortical areas in the human brain

To investigate the role of vestibular afferent input in systemic interactions between cortical areas of the human brain, the dynamics of interregional cortical interactions has been studied in patients with cervical dystonia during their therapy by the removal of the transtympanic chemical vestibular receptor. It has been found that even unilateral vestibular dereception leads to a profound reorganization of systemic interactions between remote cortical areas, particularly, the anterior and posterior associative areas in both hemispheres. Relationships indicating the role of vestibular input in the organization of integrative brain activity have been found, which confirms its systemic role.
