Dazzled!...
Yes literally I was dazzled by the
dynamism of this new International Society for Vestibular Reeducation
(SIRV) that held its third annual meeting on Saturday 20 May inside
la Maison de la Chimie in Paris.
People is moving ahead, they want
to do something and they make researches and they publish them...
Congratulations BLIN, DESBAUD, DERUY, DUMAS, GARIN, MARC, MISÉRÉ...
It's the right way to go on, and to go on well.
As a proof, the faith profession
that Alain SÉMONT, the leader of this society, made in
front of us: "The vestibular apparatus is nothing compared
to the processing of its signal inside the SNC". What a change
! When one thinks of the tradition in which vestibular studies
were developed: the Function and the Organ, inheritance of the
nineteenth century in the course of which histologists discovered
organs of sense, the sensory function accomplished by an anatomical
structure all at the same spot!
Yes, Alain, you are right, the equilibrium
system is a 'topologically burst' system and we have not finished
understanding how the SNC processes all these signals to make
an unique motor output ! And we have not finished understanding
all traps of the logic of systems that overflow, how much!, the
logic of telephone cable or of irrigation system...
As - through his verve - professor
RANCUREL confessed clearly we are still ignorants...
But we can add: at least the question
is well set.
