Which parts of the brain is involved in regulation of nystagmus?
Vestibular nuclei
What is doggie vertigo?
Vertigo in simpler terms means a feeling of dizziness or giddiness. It can also be defined as the feeling experienced by a person as if he is about to fall. Intense vertigo in dogs is known as vestibular disease or vestibular syndrome. Vertigo symptoms in dogs are very uncommon as vertigo is a rare dog heath problem. But they are symptoms of some major disease and hence should not be ignored.

What is oscilopsia?
Oscilopsia is the false perception that the surroundings are in moviment. The principal cause is acquired nystagmus so all causes of nystagmus can lead to this symptom. Oscilopsia can be confused with diplopia (double vision), blurred vision or vertigo.
What are vestibular suppressants?
drugs designed to control vertigo attacks; they include mechzine (Antivert), diazepam (Valium), and dimenhydrinate (Dramamine).

an acoustic neuroma (tumor of the cranial nerve 8).

What is the medical term meaning sense of whirling dizziness and the loss of balance?
Vertigo Vertigo, or dizziness, is a symptom, not a disease. The term vertigo refers to the sensation of spinning or whirling that occurs as a result of a disturbance in balance (equilibrium). It also may be used to describe feelings of dizziness, lightheadedness, faintness, and unsteadiness. The sensation of movement is called subjective vertigo and the perception of movement in surrounding objects is called objective vertigo. Vertigo usually occurs as a result of a disorder in the vestibular system (i.e., structures of the inner ear, the vestibular nerve, brainstem, and cerebellum). The vestibular system is responsible for integrating sensory stimuli and movement and for keeping objects in visual focus as the body moves. Benign paroxysmal position vertigo (BPPV) is a common cause for dizziness. When the head moves, signals are transmitted to the labyrinth, which is an apparatus in the inner ear that is made up of three semicircular canals surrounded by fluid. The labyrinth then transmits movement information to the vestibular nerve and the vestibular nerve carries the information to the brainstem and cerebellum (areas of the brain that control balance, posture, and motor coordination). There are a number of different causes for dizzy spells. Incidence and PrevalenceVertigo is one of the most common health problems in adults. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), about 40% of people in the United States experience feeling dizzy at least once during their lifetime. Prevalence is slightly higher in women and increases with age. http://www.neurologychannel.com/vertigo/index.shtmlVertigo.

What is vertigo?
It is caused by certain inner ear problems, when you have an ear problem it sets your body off causing dizziness and loss of balance and sometimes nausea. Vertigo is a sensation of spinning or disequilibrium. You might be able to feel it yourself by spinning in place for a while, and then stopping. You may still feel yourself to be spinning although you know you are not. That's vertigo. Vertigo is a medical condition that results from the vestibular system experiencing a dysfunction. It can cause dizziness and disorienting perceptions of motion. It is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
Tinnitus vertigo and gradual hearing loss typify what disorder?
Tinnitus and vertigo, two common neurological complaints, often challenge the physician's ability with respect to possible etiology. Objective tinnitus can result from an abnormally patent eustachian tube, from tetanic contractions of the muscles of the soft palate, or from vascular abnormalities within the head or neck. Subjective tinnitus refers to lesions involving the external ear canal, tympanic membrane, ossicles, cochlea, auditory nerve, brainstem, and cortex. As many as 50% of patients with tinnitus do not exhibit associated hearing loss; in these patients, the cause of the tinnitus is rarely identified. An illusion of movement is specific for vestibular system disease--a peripheral or central location depending upon associated audiologic and neurologic symptoms, respectively. However, a presyncopal, light-headed sensation is most commonly associated with diffuse cerebral ischemia: in the young patient, this may be caused by a hyperventilation syndrome; in the aged individual, this can result from diffuse atherosclerotic cerebrovascular disease and decreased cardiac output. Postural and gait imbalance associated with acute vertigo indicates a unilateral peripheral vestibular or a central vestibular lesion; if vertigo is absent, either a cerebellar, proprioceptive, or bilateral peripheral vestibular lesion is likely. Transient oscillopsia suggests unilateral peripheral vestibular lesions. Permanent oscillopsia indicates a bilateral peripheral vestibular lesion or--in the absence of severe vertigo--brainstem or cerebellar damage.
