In The Vestibular System: A Sixth Sense, leading experts present an integrative, comprehensive and innovative look at the sense that Aristotle missed. The vestibular system plays a vital role in everyday life, contributing to a surprising range of functions from reflexes to the highest levels of perception and consciousness. This text not only offers a thorough and fresh review of the basicssensory transduction, the neurophysiology of peripheral and central pathwaysand how vestibular signals are processed in the control of gaze and posture; it significantly moves the discussion forward with its attention to the current research and the field's revolutionary advances, such as the understanding of neural correlates of self-motion and the basis of clinical disorders. In addition, the objective presentation of existing controversies is exciting reading and an extremely important contribution to the text's completeness. Dynamic, intellectually challenging, and unique in its level of integration of the material, this book is essential for anyone interested in understanding the vestibular system.

Since the sequencing of the human genome, major developments in our understanding of otology and neurotology have taken place; diagnostic measures have been transformed, and the underlying genetics of a variety of diseases affecting the ear have already been unraveled. Otorhinolaryngologists and head and neck surgeons will find this monograph an invaluable resource for the management of neurotological problems in their patients. The contributors are internationally renowned, and many of them are affiliated with Johns Hopkins University, a leading center for neurotology and otology. The text thus emphasizes state-of-the-art developments in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of hearing, balance and the facial nerve. Scientific and clinical pathophysiology is reflected throughout. This volume is a key reference guide for medical students, general practitioners, and aspiring otolaryngologists and otologists.
