Vestibular and visual brain areas in the medial cortex of the human brain
Anton Beer, M. Becker, Sebastian Frank, Mark W. Greenlee
Abstract
Self-motion perception involves several vestibular and visual cortical regions. Within the medial cortex, the cingulate sulcus visual (CSv) area, the precuneus motion (PcM) area, and the V6 complex respond selectively to self-motion cues. Here, we show that vestibular information is also processed in the pericallosal sulcus (vPCS), whereas (radial) visual motion information is associated with activation in the retrosplenial cortex (mRSC).
