The function of the vestibular system is not as obvious as those of
vision, hearing, touch or smell. Vestibular dysfunction, however,
is clearly apparent where lesions are present. It is probably for
this reason that the vestibular sense was not discovered until the
nineteenth century and that clinicians have continued to playa
major role in basic vestibular research right up to the present.
The relationship between basic and clinical research is certainly
stronger in the vesti bular field than in that of tactile
sensation, for instance, as testified by the work of clinicians as
MENIERE, BREUER, BARANY, DEKLEIJN and FRENZEL. In this respect the
situation is similar in vestibular physiology and in endocrinology,
and for the same reason. This second part of the vestibular volume
of the Handbook of Sensory Physio logy will be of interest to
neurologists, otologists, neurosurgeons, ophthalmologists and
physiotherapists on the one hand, and psychologists, physiologists,
engineers and aviation specialists on the other. For a full
understanding of Part 2, it is necessary to have assimilated the
basic anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry of Part 1."
