A vertigo network derived from human brain lesions and brain stimulation

ABSTRACT: Abstract Vertigo is a common neurological complaint, which can result in significant morbidity and decreased quality of life. While pathology to peripheral and subtentorial brain structures is a well-established cause of vertigo, cortical lesions have also been linked to vertigo and may lend insight into relevant neuroanatomy. Here, we investigate the supratentorial lesion locations associated with vertigo and test whether they map to a common brain network. We performed a systematic literature search and identified 23 cases of supratentorial brain lesions associated with vertigo. We mapped the lesion locations to a standard brain template and computed the network of brain regions functionally connected to each lesion location, using a ‘wiring diagram’ of the human brain termed the human c
