| Abstract |
Vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are short-latency muscle reflexes typically recorded from the neck or eye muscles with surface electrodes. They are used clinically to assess otolith function, but are also interesting as they can provide information about the vestibular system and its activation by sound and vibration. Since the introduction of VEMPs more than 25 years ago, VEMPs have inspired animal and human research on the effects of acoustic vestibular stimulation on the vestibular organs, their projections and the postural muscles involved in vestibular reflexes. Using a combination of recording techniques, including single motor unit recordings, VEMP studies have enhanced our understanding of the excitability changes underlying the sound-evoked vestibulo-collic and vestibulo-ocular reflexes. Studies in patients with diseases of the vestibular system, such as superior canal dehiscence and Meniere's disease, have shown how acoustic vestibular stimulation is affected by physical changes in the vestibule, and how sound-evoked reflexes can detect these changes and their resolution in clinical contexts. This review outlines the advances in our understanding of the vestibular system that have occurred following the renewed interest in sound and vibration as a result of the VEMP. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 January 2020.
All research outputs
#15,011,732
of 23,092,602 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Neurology
#6,198
of 12,012 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#199,003
of 329,246 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Neurology
#145
of 318 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,092,602 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,012 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.3. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,246 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 318 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
