1945Arch. Ophthalmol. XXXIII. 149/1 The vestibulo⁓auditory symptoms began abruptly with vertigo, tinnitus and deafness. 1980Medicine (Baltimore) LIX. 426/1 Cogan syndrome..is a disease of young adults and consists of acute interstitial keratitis..with vestibuloauditory dysfunction.
1932Jrnl. Compar. Neurol. LIV. 150 Vestibulocerebellar fibers. 1974D. & M. Webster Compar. Vertebr. Morphol. xii. 292 The vestibulocerebellar tract runs from the vestibular nuclei in the brainstem through the restiform body to terminate in the cerebellar cortex.
1962Gray's Anat. (ed. 33) 1141 The vestibulo⁓cochlear nerve appears in the groove between the pons and the medulla oblongata. 1974Encycl. Brit. Micropædia III. 413/1 In nerve deafness, some defect in the sensory cells of the inner ear..or in the vestibulocochlear nerve prevents transmission of sound impulses from the inner ear to the auditory centre in the brain. 1982Audiology XXI. 172 Streptomycin..passes into the fetus..producing vestibulocochlear neural abnormalities.
1921Tilney & Riley Form & Function Central Nervous System xxx. 532 Vestibulo-ocular associated reflex. This reflex is elicited by electrical, thermal and mechanical stimulation of the receptors in the vestibule of the internal ear. 1963Jrnl. Theoret. Biol. IV. 215 The simplest description of this vestibulo-ocular reflex is to say that, if the head is rotated in one direction, the eyes tend to rotate, with respect to the head, in the opposite direction, and then come back to their undeviated position. 1979Sci. Amer. Jan. 88/1 The two other major types of eye movements—the vestibulo-ocular movements, which maintain visual stability during head movements, and the smooth-pursuit eye movements, which follow a moving object such as a flying bird—do not appear..since neither of these types of movements is elicited by target jumps.
1899L. F. Barker Nervous System lviii. 960 It would seem that this uncrossed descending vestibulo-spinal neurone system has been described by various authors under different names. 1948A. Brodal Neurological Anat. v. 118 The most important descending connexion appears to be the vestibulo-spinal tract. 1983Brain Res. CCLIX. 217/1 The vestibulospinal system has a complex organization both in aspects of its afferent connection and of its spinal projection. |
