A bstract : An asymmetry of the vestibulo‐ocular reflex is observed after unilateral posterior cortical lesions in human. The co‐occurrence of vestibular deficits and visuo‐spatial disorders suggests a functional link between the representation and update of space and the integration of vestibular information in the occipito‐parieto‐temporal cortex of the right hemisphere.
