abstract = {Contrary to most other sensory systems, no consensus has
been reached within the scientific community about the exact
locations and functions of human cortical areas processing
vestibular information. Metaanalytical modelling using
activation likelihood estimation (ALE) for the integration
of neuroimaging results has already been successfully
applied to several distinct tasks, thereby revealing the
cortical localization of cognitive functions. We used the
same algorithm and technique with all available and suitable
PET and fMRI studies employing a vestibular stimulus. Most
consistently across 28 experiments vestibular stimuli evoked
activity in the right hemispheric parietal opercular area OP
2 implicating it as the core region for vestibular
processing. Furthermore, we took our primary results as a
seeding point and fed them into a functional connectivity
analysis based on resting-state oscillations in 100 healthy
subjects. This subsequent calculation confirmed direct
connections of the area OP 2 with every other region found
in the meta-analysis, in particular temporo-parietal
regions, premotor cortex, and the midcingulate gyrus. Thus
revealing a joint vestibular network in accordance with a
concept from animal literature termed the inner vestibular
circle. Moreover, there was also a significant vestibular
connectivity overlap with frontal but not parietal cortical
centres responsible for the generation of saccadic eye
movements, likely to be involved in nystagmus fast phase
generation. This was shown in an additional ocular motor
meta-analysis. We conclude that the cytoarchitectonic area
OP 2 in the parietal operculum, embedded in a joint
vestibular network, should be the primary candidate for the
human vestibular cortex. This area may represent the human
homologue to the vestibular area PIVC as proposed by Guldin
and Grüsser in non-human primates.},
