“…Inactivation of the vestibular system has also recently been reported to abolish theta activity in the entorhinal cortex (Jacob et al, ). Furthermore, a loss of dorsal hippocampal volume has been found in humans following bilateral vestibular lesions (BVL) (Brandt et al, ; Gottlich et al, ; Seo et al, 2016) and in rodents a decrease in the length of basal dendrites in CA1 has been reported (Balabhadrapatruni et al, ). However, such anatomical hippocampal changes remain controversial due to conflicting results obtained in human (Van Cruijsen et al, ; Cutfield et al, ) and no change in hippocampal volume has been observed in rats following either chemical or surgical BVL (Besnard et al, ; Zheng et al, ).…”
