It has gradually been recognised that the gravitational vector, primarily mediated by the otolith organs in the inner ear, is utilised as a reference by diverse systems. Besides its obvious role in the vestibulo-ocular and vestibule-spinal responses (e.g. Yates et al. 2014), it also subserves a number of systems ranging from those cognitive processes involved in spatial orientation and navigation (Wraga et al. 2000; McIntyre et al. 2001; Indovina et al. 2005; Besnard et al. 2015) to the regulation of autonomic mechanisms (e.g. Watenpaugh et al. 2002; Salanova et al. 2016). |
