BALB/C mice were subjected to vestibular loading (rotation in individual containers at a speed of 80 rpm) for 8 h. As a result of this loading, the animals exhibited a decrease in horizontal and vertical locomotor activity, which returned to the control levels after 5 days....
No actionable change — this is a mouse study of basic cellular mechanisms in the vestibular brain region and does not directly translate to clinical practice.
Understanding how glial cells respond to vestibular stress in the brain may eventually shed light on why some patients develop chronic dizziness or balance compensation problems after vestibular injury.
