The human hippocampal formation plays a crucial role in various aspects of memory processing. Most literature on the hippocampus stresses its non-spatial functions, but older work rodents and some other species emphasized spatial learning as well. A few studies also point to direct relation between size, navigation memory. Conversely, importance vestibular system for was until now convincingly demonstrated only animals. Using magnetic resonance imaging volumetry, we found that patients (n =...
The hippocampus is thought to be important for spatial representation processes that depend on the integration of both self-movement and allocentric cues. vestibular system a particularly source information may contribute this representation. To test hypothesis provides hippocampus, rats were given either bilateral labyrinthectomy (n = 6) or sham surgery 6), at least 60 d after hippocampal CA1 neurons recorded extracellularly while animals foraged freely in an open arena. Recorded cells...
The light intensity-fusion frequency relationship of the goldfish electroretinogram follows Ferry-Porter law except at higher intensities. Maximum fusion increases with temperature thus contradicting results studies elsewhere on behavioral responses in sunfish.
The vestibular (inner ear balance) system senses head movement and orientation in space. Vestibular sensory input plays a critical role spatial cognitive abilities such as memory navigation. function declines with age, recent studies have shown that age-related impairment is associated poorer skills healthy older adults. Moreover, disproportionately prevalent among individuals mild Alzheimer's disease, specifically cognitively-impaired who deficits disorientation difficulty driving. Indeed,...
The hippocampus has a major role in memory for spatial location. Theta is rhythmic hippocampal EEG oscillation that occurs at approximately 8 Hz during voluntary movement and may have some encoding information. We investigated whether, as part of this process, theta might be influenced by self-movement signals provided the vestibular system. effects bilateral peripheral lesions, made > or = 60 days prior to recording, were assessed freely moving rats. Power spectral analysis revealed...
For more than a decade, evidence from animal studies has suggested that damage to the vestibular system leads deficits in spatial navigation which are indicative of impaired learning and memory. More recently, direct emerged demonstrate humans with disorders exhibit range cognitive not just nature, but also include non-spatial functions such as object recognition Vestibular dysfunction been shown adversely affect attentional processes increased demands can worsen postural sway associated...
