Common neural correlates of vestibular stimulation and fear learning: an fMRI meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A bidirectional functional link between vestibular and fear-related disorders has been previously suggested.

Objective

To test a potential overlap of vestibular and fear systems with regard to their brain imaging representation maps.

Methods

By use of voxel-based mapping permutation of subject images, we conducted a meta-analysis of earlier functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies applying vestibular stimulation and fear conditioning in healthy volunteers.

Results

Common clusters of concordance of vestibular stimulation and fear conditioning were found in the bilateral anterior insula cortex, ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and the right temporal pole, bilaterally in the adjacent ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, cingulate gyrus, secondary
