Background: Vestibular dysfunction causing imbalance affects c. 80% of acute hospitalized traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases. Poor balance recovery is linked to worse return-to-work rates and reduced longevity.

Two key series of discoveries about the hippocampus are described. One is the discovery of hippocampal spatial view cells in primates. This discovery opens the way to a much better understanding of human episodic memory, for episodic memory prototypically involves a memory of where people or objects or rewards have been seen in locations "out there" which could never be implemented by the place cells that encode the location of a rat or mouse.

Peripersonal space (PPS), the space immediately surrounding one's body, contributes to interactions with the external environment. Previous studies have demonstrated that PPS expands during whole-body self-motion. Furthermore, motor and proprioceptive information contributes to this phenomenon.

Aging-associated decline in peripheral vestibular function is linked to deficits in executive ability, self-motion perception, and motor planning and execution. While these behaviors are known to rely on the sensorimotor and frontal cortices, the precise pathways involving the frontal and sensorimotor cortices in these vestibular-associated behaviors are unknown. To fill this knowledge gap, this cross-sectional study investigates the relationship between age-related variation in vestibular function and surface shape alterations of the frontal and sensorimotor cortices, considering age, intracranial volume, and sex.
