摘要
Shaikh AG. A trail of artificial vestibular stimulation: electricity, heat, and magnet. J Neurophysiol 108: 1-4, 2012. First published March 28, 2012; doi:10.1152/jn.01169.2011.-The interaction between the magnetic field of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine and ion currents within the inner-ear endolymph results in a Lorentz force. This force produces a pressure that pushes on the cupula within the semicircular canals causing nystagmus and vertigo. Here I discuss several implications of this unique and noninvasive way to stimulate the vestibular system in experimental neurophysiology and clinical neurology.
