Video - Vestibular transduction

Vestibular transduction refers to the process by which the vestibular system in the inner ear converts specific head movements into electric impulses so that we can interpret where we are in space. The vestibular system is responsible for transforming movements into electrical impulses that follow the vestibular pathway, passing through the vestibular nuclei, to reach different structures to maintain balance, such as external muscles of the eyes, the muscles of the head and neck, the structures that control muscle tone, the cerebellum, and the somatosensory cortex.
