The review considers the results of domestic and foreign studies of modern neurophysiological diagnosis of vestibular disorders in migraine and epilepsy. Currently, there is a large number of physiological and clinical methods to evaluate the functions of the peripheral and central parts of the vestibular sensory system. However, among the tests, the samples for the assessment of the physiological state of horizontal semicircular canals and associated stem canals predominate. In recent years, neurophysiological techniques that reflect the work of the structures of the nervous system, previously inaccessible to direct study, are being actively introduced. Modern effective neurophysiological methods of rehabilitation of patients with migraine-associated and other various vestibular disorders have been developed. Further study of neurophysiological approaches to the diagnosis of vestibular disorders in migraine and epilepsy will significantly expands the current understanding of neurophysiological mechanisms of brain functions.

Imperceptible noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation (nGVS) improves standing balance due to the presence of stochastic resonance (SR). There is, however, a lack of consensus regarding the optimal levels and type of noise used to elicit SR like dynamics. We aimed to confirm the presence of SR behavior in the vestibular system of young healthy adults by examining postural responses to increasing amplitudes of white and pink noise stimulation scaled to individual cutaneous perceptual threshold.

Background And Purpose: The dorsolateral portion of the caudal pons contains the vestibular nucleus (VN) and inferior cerebellar peduncle (ICP) that play important roles in conveying and processing vestibular and ocular motor signals. This study aimed to characterize ocular motor abnormalities along with their anatomical correlations in dorsolateral pons (DLP) lesions.
Methods: We analyzed clinical features, and results of neuro-otological evaluations and neuroimaging of 18 patients with unilateral DLP lesions (17 with DLP infarction and 1 with cavernous malformation) from among 506 patients with pontine infarction in a stroke registry.

Previous studies have highlighted the correlation between inflammatory responses and vestibular neuritis (VN). The aim of Mendelian randomization was to assess the causal associations between 91 inflammatory proteins and vestibular neuritis comprehensively. By leveraging publicly accessible genetic datasets, we probed whether 91 inflammatory proteins serve as upstream determinants of vestibular neuritis.

Objectives: Surgical treatments for Ménière's disease differ in efficacy. Endolymphatic duct blockage (EDB) is favored for its minimal risk and ability to preserve hearing. One of the main challenges in the technique is the difficulty in accurately identifying the endolymphatic duct (ED).

Purpose: This study aims to investigate whether artificial intelligence can improve the diagnostic accuracy of vertigo related diseases.
Experimental Design: Based on the clinical guidelines, clinical symptoms and laboratory test results were extracted from electronic medical records as variables. These variables were then input into a machine learning diagnostic model for classification and diagnosis.
