The Vestibular Drive for Balance Control Is Dependent on Multiple Sensory Cues of Gravity

Vestibular signals, which encode head movement in space as well as orientation relative to gravity, contribute to the ongoing muscle activity required to stand. The strength of this vestibular contribution changes with the presence and quality of sensory cues of balance. Here we investigate whether...
