Vertigo occurs with either physiological stimulation or pathological dysfunction of any of the three stabilizing sensory systems: vestibular, visual, and somatosensory. The physiological syndromes, induced by intersensory or intrasensory mismatches, include motion sickness and space sickness as well as height, visual, somatosensory, auditory, head‐extension, and bending‐over vertigo. This review emphasizes the relationship between these physilological forms of vertigo and the pathological clinical vertigo syndromes.
