Show Notes
Host Puneet Dhaliwal, PT, DPT, NCS is joined by Dr. Paul Smith, PhD, Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, to discuss the implications of vestibular input to the hippocampus on vestibular rehabilitation.
They will discuss how a steady accumulation of evidence suggests that vestibular lesions not just effect oculomotor and postural reflexes in humans but also may lead to cognitive deficits.
