Modulation of otolith MEG responses by change of gravitational force vector

The multisensory vestibular cortical circuit on the basis of monkey experiments as well as human functional brain imaging studies includes the posterior insula, the superior temporal gyrus, and inferior parietal lobule with the intraparietal sulcus. The aim of this MEG study was to determine where and in which time domain vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) which have been a regular diagnostic instrument for sacculus function for the past years can activate the multisensory vestibular cortex in humans. If so could one also demonstrate a right hemispheric dominance in right-handers? This dominance has be…
