Mechanisms underlying efferent feedback in the vestibular system

平衡系统具有非凡的自我修复能力，但人们对此知之甚少。传出前庭系统(EVS)是一种内在的反馈机制，被认为在这种自我修复中发挥了重要作用。令人惊讶的是，我们对电动汽车在动物或人类身上的功能知之甚少。我们将在老鼠和人类身上研究电动汽车，以更好地了解它是如何工作的。这些信息将推动改善和恢复疾病、损伤或衰老平衡的治疗方法的设计。

The balance system has a remarkable, but poorly understood capacity for self-repair. An intrinsic feedback mechanism, the Efferent Vestibular System or EVS is thought to play a major role in this self-repair. Surprisingly, we know little about EVS function in animals or humans. We will study the EVS in mice and humans to gain a better understanding of how it works. This information will then drive the design of therapies that improve and restore balance in disease, injury, or ageing.
