AB The  vestibular  system  senses  motion  of  the  head  for  the  purposes  of  maintaining  stability  of  images  on  the  fovea  of  the  retina  and  stability  of  postural  control  during  that  head  motion.  In  normal  function,  the  vestibular  receptors  provide  an  elegant  and  accurate  representation  of  the  motion  of  the  head  in  three  dimensions.  This  information  is  then  carried  along  central  vestibular  pathways  to  control  the  reflexes  and  perceptions  that  are  mediated  by  the  vestibular  system.  Disorders  of  vestibular  function  result  in  abnormalities  in  these  reflexes  and  lead  to  sensations  that  reflect  abnormal  information.
