越来越多的文献表明，内耳前庭系统对认知功能有重大影响。最有力的证据表明，前庭功能与视觉空间能力的认知领域有关，其中包括空间记忆、导航、心理旋转和三维空间的心理表征。大量证据也表明前庭系统对注意力和认知处理能力有影响。许多研究也涉及记忆和执行功能的认知领域。我们将回顾目前的文献，讨论前庭功能障碍和认知能力之间可能的因果关系，并提出未来研究的领域。
A growing body of literature suggests the inner ear vestibular system has a substantial impact on cognitive function. The strongest evidence exists in connecting vestibular function to the cognitive domain of visuospatial ability, which includes spatial memory, navigation, mental rotation, and mental representation of three-dimensional space. Substantial evidence also exists suggesting the vestibular system has an impact on attention and cognitive processing ability. The cognitive domains of memory and executive function are also implicated in a number of studies. We will review the current literature, discuss possible causal links between vestibular dysfunction and cognitive performance, and suggest areas of future research.
