Vestibulo-sympathetic reflex in patients with bilateral vestibular loss

Vestibulo-sympathetic reflex in patients with bilateral vestibular loss The so-called vestibulo-sympathetic reflex, as demonstrated by the head-down neck flexion (HDNF) protocol, is present in patients with total bilateral vestibular idiopathic loss, equally in young and old subjects. The origin of the sympathetic effect of HDNF is questioned. Moreover, the physiological significance of the vestibulo-sympathetic reflex remains obscure, because it acts in opposition to the orthostatic baroreflex. It may serve to inhibit the excessively powerful baroreflex. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Applied Physiology The American Physiological Society

Abstract

The so-called vestibulo-sympathetic reflex, as demonstrated by the head-down neck flexion (HDNF) protocol, is present in patients with total bilateral vestibular idiopathic loss, equally in young and old subjects. The origin of the sympathetic effect of HDNF is questioned. Moreover, the physiological significance of the vestibulo-sympathetic reflex remains obscure, because it acts in opposition to the orthostatic baroreflex. It may serve to inhibit the excessively powerful baroreflex.
