We investigated the functional anatomy of OP2 and adjacent areas (OP2+) using spatially constrained independent component analysis (ICA) of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from the Human Connectome Project. Ten ICA-derived subregions were identified. OP2+ responses to vestibular and visual motion were analyzed in 17 controls and 17 right-sided vestibular neuritis patients who had previously undergone caloric and optokinetic stimulation during fMRI. In controls, a posterior part of right OP2+ showed: (i) direction-selective responses to visual motion and (ii) activation during caloric stimulation that correlated positively with perceived self-motion, and negatively with visual dependence and peak slow-phase nystagmus velocity. Patients showed abnormal OP2+ activity, with an absence of visual or caloric activation of the healthy ear and no correlations with vertigo or visual dependence-despite normal slow-phase nystagmus responses to caloric stimulation. Activity in a lateral part of right OP2+ correlated with chronic visually induced dizziness in patients. In summary, distinct functional subregions of right OP2+ show strong connectivity to other vestibular areas and a profile of caloric and visual responses, suggesting a central role for vestibular function in health and disease. date: 2022-03-02 date_type: published publisher: OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC official_url: https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhac085 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1942993 doi: 10.1093/cercor/bhac085 medium: Print pii: 6540624 lyricists_name: Kaski, Diego lyricists_name: Ibitoye, Richard lyricists_id: DKASK15 lyricists_id: RIBIT65 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner funding_acknowledgements: MR/J004685/1 [UK Medical Research Council]; R481/0516 [Dunhill Medical Trust]; [Imperial National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Biomedical Research Centre]; [NIHR University College London Hospitals Biomedical Research Centre]; [UK Dementia Research Institute Care Research & Technology Centre]; [Centre for Injury studies at Imperial College London] full_text_status: public publication: Cerebral Cortex volume: 33 number: 3 pagerange: 567-582 pages: 16 event_location: United States citation: Ibitoye, Richard T; Mallas, Emma-Jane; Bourke, Niall J; Kaski, Diego; Bronstein, Adolfo M; Sharp, David J; (2022) The human vestibular cortex: functional anatomy of OP2, its connectivity and the effect of vestibular disease.
