Vestibular physiology has acquired new interest in the past few
years. The development of fast aircraft, beginning during the
Second World War and continuing through modern supersonic jets and
space travel, has increased dramatically the acceleration range to
which man is subjected, from prolonged weightlessness to several
gs. The labyrinth measures all kinds of acceleration, including
gravity. and therefore has taken on particular impor tance in the
study of human health in the Space Age. It is understandable. then,
that NASA sponsored the Symposium on Vestibular Function and
Morphology. a satellite of the Eighth Annual Meeting of the Society
of Neuroscience. held October 30-November 1. 1978, at the
University of Pittsburgh, which also supported the symposium. The
present volume was developed from papers originally presented
there. My strategy in editing this book has been to focus upon the
vestibular end organ and its direct connections. both peripheral
and central, in order to as sure a coherent discussion of the
basics of vestibular function, structure, and ultrastructure.
Fortunately, it was possible to secure the contributions of a
number of outstanding investigators from both the United States and
abroad, including functionally oriented morphologists.
ultrastructuralists, biophysicists, and vestibular physiologists.
The result is a comprehensive discussion of the main mechanisms of
the labyrinth: the transduction pro cess at the receptor level, in
the semicircular canals, and in the utricular and saccular maculae;
the information transfer through neuronal pathways to the nuclei
and the cerebellum; and the general organization of the system."
