Is there a vestibular cortex?
Abstract
Very different areas of the primate cortex have been labelled as 'vestibular'. However, no clear concept has emerged as to where and how the vestibular information is processed in the cerebral cortex. On the basis of data from single-unit recordings and tracer studies, the present article gives statistical evidence of the existence of a well-defined vestibular cortical system. Because the data presented here have been verified in three different primate species, it can be predicted that a similar vestibular cortical system also exists in humans.

“The vestibular system is critical for self-locating in space through the simultaneous acquisition of exteroceptive and interoceptive sensory information at the brainstem vestibular nuclei (Guldin and Grüsser, 1998; Farb et al., 2013).”

In the citing paper
“In addition, the vestibular system is a subconscious system that consistently monitors one’s position in gravitational space through the simultaneous acquisition of exteroceptive and interoceptive sensory information at the level of the brainstem vestibular nuclei (Guldin and Grüsser, 1998; Lopez et al., 2008; Pfeiffer et al., 2014).”

In the citing paper
“Exteroceptive vestibular sensory information is necessary to spatial orienting and maintaining balance, where sensory information is relayed from the inner ear to the brainstem vestibular nuclei before eventually reaching the parieto-insular vestibular cortex for higher-order cortical processing (Guldin and Grüsser, 1998; De Waele et al., 2001; Day and Fitzpatrick, 2005; Miller et al., 2008).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
