- Summary:
- The author provides an overview of the vestibular system and reviews adaptation in the vestibular system, functional evidence of adaptation to microgravity, and physiological and morphological evidence of adaptation. Topics examined about functional evidence of adaptation in microgravity include control of eye movements, control of posture, perception of orientation and motion, and space motion sickness. Topics examined about physiological and morphological evidence of adaptation include otolith organs and the semicircular canals in the peripheral vestibular system and the central nervous system.
