Vestibular-Oriented Research Meeting agenda for a virtual, two-day program organized by the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. Day 1 features introductions, multiple podium sessions with abstracts on recovery nystagmus, gait disorientation, symptom localization, post–mild traumatic brain injury mobility and symptom burden, and several keynote updates on vestibular disorder treatment and postural balance control. Day 2 continues with podium sessions on stimulation, training effects, everyday vestibular function, spatial encoding during walking, neural and computational mechanisms, additional keynotes, poster and mentoring activities, and closing remarks.

FAQs

What are the key session types included in the meeting agenda?

The agenda includes podium sessions, multiple keynote addresses, poster lightning rounds, a poster session, and a mentoring session.

What topics are covered in the Day 1 podium sessions?

Day 1 podium abstracts cover recovery nystagmus, gait disorientation as a vestibular screening approach, symptom set site specificity, and links between visual/vestibular deficits and functional mobility after mild traumatic brain injury, among others.

What themes are emphasized in the Day 2 sessions and keynote addresses?

Day 2 emphasizes vestibular contributions to visual perception, training and spatial heading in different age groups, spatial encoding during walking in virtual environments, neural mechanisms for subjective visual vertical and spatial updating, and an overview of age-related changes in the vestibular system.
