“…We find one study protocol, no published results yet, using unilateral vestibular stimulation in bipolar disorder's depressive phase [37]. Given that there is evidence of decreased activity of right insula in depression [38,39], and also of diminished vestibular activity at the right side [40], it would be interesting to develop lateralized vestibular stimulation protocols to stimulate the right side hemisphere in this pathology.…”

Neuropsychiatric disorders involve brain areas of self-awareness, affect voluntary attention to stimuli, and show cognitive processes’ dysfunctions. Functional images demonstrated that the stimulation of the inner ear’s vestibular receptors enhances the activity of the insular cortex, prefrontal cortex, hypothalamus and hippocampus, improving self-perception, attention, reasoning, and memory. Vestibular stimulation techniques (e.g., caloric, galvanic, and rotary) modulates those neuronal centers at the right or the left hemisphere depending on the kind of the stimuli and the side of stimulation, being a potentially useful therapeutic tool for mental disorders. Neuropsychiatric conditions are currently the leading cause of global disability. The present article reviews vestibular stimulation techniques in neuropsychiatry and discusses future directions.
