Our vestibular system provides us with the important sense of balance. When it fails we suffer debiltating bouts of vertigo and dizziness. A great deal is known about how balance signals are sent from the inner ear to our brains, but virtually nothing is known about the important signals the brain sends to the inner ear. In this study we will use a new perparation develped in our laboratory to examine how these essential brain signals control the function of our balance organs.

我们的前庭系统为我们提供了重要的平衡感。当它失败时，我们会经历一阵阵虚弱的眩晕和眩晕。关于平衡信号是如何从内耳发送到我们的大脑的，我们已经知道了很多，但关于大脑发送给内耳的重要信号，我们几乎一无所知。在这项研究中，我们将使用我们实验室开发的一种新设备来检查这些基本的大脑信号如何控制我们平衡器官的功能。
