The effects of bilateral vestibular loss on hippocampal volume, neuronal number and cell proliferation in rats

The effects of bilateral vestibular loss on hippocampal volume, neuronal number and cell proliferation in rats

Previous studies in humans have shown that bilateral loss of vestibular function is associated with a significant bilateral atrophy of the hippocampus, which correlated with the patients’ spatial memory deficits. More recently, patients who had recovered from unilateral vestibular neuritis have been...
