“…Understanding of the trait will also be furthered by examining mechanisms of BR which remain elusive, and this work may in turn inform understanding of mechanisms of BD. One such example is the pathophysiological model of BD originally proposed in reporting the slow BR trait—a model based on hemispheric activation asymmetries and now being reconsidered in light of neuroimaging findings of white matter callosal deficits in BD …”

“…Clarifying the potential role of the vestibular system in bodily self-consciousness is important because vestibular stimulation has been proposed for treating a wide range of conditions involving body awareness, despite a lack of strong supportive evidence (for critical reviews see e.g. Grabherr et al, 2015;Miller, 2016). Findings from this study may help further the understanding of the role of vestibular information in self-location, particularly regarding the prioritisation of conflicting sensory input (i.e.…”

Background. Bodily self-consciousness depends on the coherent integration of sensory information. In addition to visual and somatosensory information processing, vestibular contributions have been proposed and investigated. Vestibular information seems especially important for self-location, but remains difficult to study. Methods. This randomised controlled experiment used the MIRAGE multisensory illusion box to induce a conflict between the visually-and proprioceptively-encoded position of one hand. Over time, the perceived location of the hand slowly shifts, due to the fact that proprioceptive input is progressively weighted more heavily than the visual input. We hypothesised that left cold caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS) augments this shift in hand localisation. Results. The results from 24 healthy participants do not support our hypothesis: CVS had no effect on the estimations with which the perceived position of the hand shifted from the visually-to the proprioceptively-encoded position. Participants were more likely to report that their hand was 'no longer there' after CVS. Taken together, neither the physical nor the subjective data provide evidence for vestibular enhanced self-location.

“…Several studies in healthy subjects showed that the stimulation of the vestibular system produced an enhancement of the activity of the insular cortex, thalamus, prefrontal cortex, hypothalamus and hippocampus [17][18][19]. In fact, these crucial areas for high brain functions and self-perception receive modulatory inputs from the vestibular system [20][21][22][23].…”

Vestibular Stimulation in Neuropsychiatry

Neuropsychiatric disorders involve brain areas of self-awareness, affect voluntary attention to stimuli, and show cognitive processes’ dysfunctions. Functional images demonstrated that the stimulation of the inner ear’s vestibular receptors enhances the activity of the insular cortex, prefrontal cortex, hypothalamus and hippocampus, improving self-perception, attention, reasoning, and memory. Vestibular stimulation techniques (e.g., caloric, galvanic, and rotary) modulates those neuronal centers at the right or the left hemisphere depending on the kind of the stimuli and the side of stimulation, being a potentially useful therapeutic tool for mental disorders. Neuropsychiatric conditions are currently the leading cause of global disability. The present article reviews vestibular stimulation techniques in neuropsychiatry and discusses future directions.
