Description
Zhengwei Chen and co-authors scan the brains of dizzy patients in this study, published in 2024. Acute unilateral vestibulopathy knocks out the balance organ on one side. Patients feel the room spin while the brain copes with lopsided signals. The team used resting brain scans to see how activity patterns change.
Thirty-two patients and thirty healthy peers were scanned. Several regions tied to balance and movement showed weaker idle activity. One link between the insula and a midline region also weakened, and its strength tracked dizziness scores. Another link grew stronger, perhaps as compensation. The changes map how the brain absorbs a sudden balance loss.
