Course Description
Vestibular disorders can disrupt balance, spatial orientation, and sensory integration, often producing symptoms such as dizziness and vertigo. In this ISCN lecture, Dr. David Clark explores how clinical neurochemistry can provide insight into the biological mechanisms underlying vestibular dysfunction. The session examines the role of neurotransmitters, metabolic pathways, and biochemical signaling in maintaining normal vestibular system function. Participants will learn how alterations in neurochemical processes may contribute to balance disorders and how evaluating biochemical factors may help guide therapeutic strategies. The lecture also reviews approaches that address metabolic and neurochemical influences on neural signaling within vestibular pathways. By integrating knowledge of neurochemistry with clinical neuroscience, this session highlights emerging perspectives on diagnosing and managing vestibular disorders.
What you’ll learn:
- Understand the neurochemical foundations of vestibular function.
- Explore causes and mechanisms of vestibular disorders.
- Examine biochemical influences on balance and spatial orientation.
- Learn how clinical neurochemistry may inform treatment strategies.
- Review emerging research in vestibular neuroscience.
