Vestibular reflexes evoked by brief lateral head acclerations: a new measure of utricular function

前庭（平衡）器官很难研究，因为它们位于骨骼深处。这些器官的疾病可能会导致严重的眩晕，不平衡和视力困难。这个项目试图建立在我的实验室的早期发展，从而提高对这些疾病的理解和诊断。这项资助涉及到一种新的刺激形式，它可以允许对前庭附件的重要部分--椭圆囊进行简单的评估。

The vestibular (balance) organs are difficult to investigate as they lie deep within bone. Disease of these organs may cause severe vertigo, imbalance and difficulty with vision. This project attempts to build on earlier developments in my laboratory and thereby improve understanding and diagnosis of these disorders. This grant relates to a new form of stimulation which may allow simple assessment of an important part of the vestibular apapratus, the utricle.
