Zusammenfassung
Background: Patients with bilateral vestibular failure (BVF) suffer from gait unsteadiness and oscillopsia. Brain imaging studies applying vestibular stimulation in patients with BVF have shown altered neural activity of cortical visual-vestibular interaction: decreased bilateral neural activity in the posterior insula and parietal operculum and decreased deactivations in the visual cortex. It is unknown how this affects functional connectivity in the resting brain. Methods: We applied a novel data driven approach based on graph theory to investigate altered whole-brain resting-state functional connectivity in B…
