Investigators from Charles University of Prague Zero in on Clinical Neurophysiology (The Headshake Enhances Oculomotor Response To Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation In Healthy Subjects).

A recent study conducted by investigators from Charles University of Prague explored the effects of a headshake on the oculomotor response to galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) in healthy individuals. The researchers found that the headshake enhanced the GVS-induced nystagmus, which is a rapid eye movement, in the participants. The study suggests that the headshake can help identify GVS-induced nystagmus that may be weak or absent during a head-still condition. The findings contribute to our understanding of the central processing of GVS response in healthy individuals. [Extracted from the article]
