Vestibular System Part 1: Basic Mechanisms

Vestibular System Part 1: Basic Mechanisms edited by H.H. Kornhuber.

The details of the receptor mechanism are not yet fully understood for any sensory system. However, sufficient data are available (for the vestibular system and for other systems) to permit meaningful tracking of the sensory messages through the nervous system and via conscious experience. The recep...
