ABSTRACT
Electrophysiological research has improved the understandings of various neural controls on motion and their functional connectivity in the central nervous system. Unlike medical imaging techniques, the electrophysiological approach can provide the neural signal processing between two or more specific regions and their temporal transmission of neural information. Using its unique advantages, the vestibular system has been also studied for more than 100 years. However, it is a recent finding that various higher functions, such as cognition, memory, learning, and even spatial navigation, are constructed partially by the vestibular neural information in the human brain. It is caused by the historical underestimation on the vestibular system and its supporting position to the main neural flow. Here, we seek for a new research theme with various approaches in the vestibular system by reviewing electrophysiological researches on the vestibular system and their experimental results.
