Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) occurring in cervical muscles after intense sound stimulation conducted by air or bone are thought to be a polysynaptic response of otolith-vestibular nerve origin. We report the results of an experiment…
The human vestibule has preserved an ancestral sound sensitivity and it has been suggested that a reflex could originate from this property underlying cervical muscle micro-contractions secondary to strong acoustic stimulation. Previous studies have…
