Vestibular CCK signaling drives motion sickness–like behavior in mice

Machuca-Márquez et al. (2023) PNAS. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2304933120

We reveal that a vestibulo-parabrachial (VN-PBN) CCKergic projection is sufficient to induce conditioned taste avoidance, likely through the activation of calcitonin gene-related peptide-expressing PBN neurons. Finally, we underscore the role of CCK-A receptor signaling as a druggable target.

Glad to see the relationship between #Vestibular and #Visual Cues is being studied! I'd like to share a bit of my experience...

When I was nine years old I was prescribed #PlusLensTheory glasses, plano on top, +0.75 in the #bifocal area. And forced to wear them every waking moment. Suddenly the area where my next footstep would fall was magnified, unless I tilted my head way down to see over the bifocal add. And turning my head side to side caused the lower part of the world to appear to rotate way more than expected.

Six months later the main lenses became -0.75 with a more extreme bifocal add. That continued into the usual ever increasing negativity, until age 15 when they gave up and prescribed hard contact lenses.

I've found two published threads that seem relevant:

The first was long ago, when I dug in the physical card catalog at Stanford and made pre-Xerox photocopies of papers (that have faded to invisibility.) There was a prominent German researcher, Helmut #Rennert (1920–1994), who does not seem to be referenced in English publications, and was mainly concerned with a psychopathological continuity from affective to schizophrenic syndromes.

In the late 1960s he found that as people became more strongly afflicted by schizophrenia their representation of the #horizon line in drawings was displaced downward. Eventually their drawings became maps - schematic representations viewed from above - with isolated images of objects floating in unrelated spaces above them.

That's the most vivid image I've found of my world. I felt the horizon at my foot level, not eye level. I remember meditations where I "turned out the lights" in the upper part of my visual space because it conflicted with the Vestibular and Visual Cues from the lens area. Gradually I swung the left and right peripheral images out and forward until they were walls in front of my body instead of a world wrapping around behind me.

Which brings me to the second thread, Dr. Antonia #Orfield, M.A., O.D., SEEING SPACE - Undergoing Brain Re-Programming to Reduce Myopia

It is still available at:
https://www.oep.org/sites/default/files/referencearticles/Seeing%20Space_1.pdf
but the certificate has expired and you must sneak through the scary warnings to see it. (I'm happy to share a copy if you can't do that.)

She describes the #CyclopeanCave she retreated into because of negative lenses. Very much like I sucked my peripheral world around in front of my face and then inside my head - truly like the world was all inside a mental cave and my body was surrounding it.

The relationship between Vestibular and Visual Cues can get quite complex... I'd love to hear of any other research touching my experience. And I'm happy to answer any questions!

TITLE: DiD, Vestibular Balance Issues, Brainscans, and Neurology

I'm a mental health clinician looking for resources and research papers
on the intersection of #DiD ( #Dissociative Identity Disorder),
#vestibular anomalies, and #neurology . I am familiar with most of the
counseling theory around DiD -- but what does it look like from a
#brainscan ( #CTscan #MRI ) point of view? Do the #subpersonalities
exhibit different brain activity when activated?

So say that a patient with DiD ( #MultiplePersonality ) was undergoing
treatment for vestibular balance disorders and switching some between
alters as the exercises were done. Is anything known on what this
medically would look like in the brain? How a neurologist would be
likely to view the behaviors witnessed?

Thanks,

A question for those who have vertigo/vestibular issues: how do you manage the nausea and anxiety that can come along with it? Waiting for medical appointment later today and feeling awful.

A very fascinating thing happened to me today. I got a #migraine. I rarely get them, so I did what I recommend to my patients: look for triggers. The only thing out of the ordinary was that I went to the playground with my 5yo and played on the spinning seat.

I gave myself 100% physiologic #nystagmus--and hours later got a migraine.

I suppose I should do one of those #introduction things.

I'm a #neurotologist--a surgeon of the lateral skull base and ear. I like all things #auditory, #vestibular, and #neuroradiology. I care a lot about my residents, and I'm currently an #otolaryngology Associate #ProgramDirector in #SanAntonio. I wear a uniform, but I'm not weird about it. I love #AcademicMedicine, #science, and #research, and I taught myself #Rstats. 1/3

I believe I should introduce myself: I'm a Doctor of #PhysicalTherapy and a PhD Student at #UniversityofWashington. My area of interest and research focus is in understanding #vestibular function in people with Parkinson disease.
My other research interests include the role of dopamine in the vestibular system, efferent vestibular function, and sensory processing for human postural control.

Hi all, an #introduction post. This is my... third? Fourth? try at adopting Mastodon; I used it for awhile some years ago and kind of faded; I went back to it with a new profile last year; and now I'm here and it looks like there is critical mass! I'm thrilled! Settling into this instance and excited to be here.

I am a professional #writer who mostly writes #LGBTQ-inclusive social and emotional learning #curriculum for a livelihood. I also like to write #fiction (#cli-fi and #fantasy #noir with rich #trans #genderqueer #bipoc characters). I am a #trans #jewish #queer #disabled (#ADHD #vestibular disorder #depression) #parent . I'm also a #jewmubu #radicalgnome figuring my life out. It should go without saying that I'm a #leftist #anarchist of some nonspecific description. (Yes, I've done the reading; no I don't want to talk theory.) I am a non-Zionist who doesn't hate Israel any more than any other state. States don't have rights; people have rights, and the rights of the #Jewish and #Palestinian people must be protected from the violence of the state. I'm also on #discord . I #read a lot. I also #garden , and I hope someday soon to keep #quail. I am allergic to cats but not allergic to your pictures of #cats so post your best!
