Multimodal MRI of the reorganization of multisensory and sensorimotor networks in chronic bilateral vestibulopathy

Chronic bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP) occurs preferably in elderly patients presenting with postural imbalance and head movement induced oscillopsia. The condition is often incomplete with residual functions in both ears. Beyond the vestibular reflexive deficits, an impairment of spatial orientation and navigation has been described associated with an atrophy of the hippocampal formation. However, this finding was inconsistent in various studies on rodents and humans. In the current MRI study o
