Broadcast -- Mini-Med - Balance: Finding Equilibrium

In this episode of Mini-Med, broadcast by the Canal Savoir TV station, we will learn how the vestibular labyrinths (balance organs) provide information that is vital for the control of posture and locomotion. Dr. Doug Watt will discuss how does this work and what happens when the system goes wrong?

Mini-Med is a popular public lecture series presented by professors from McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine. Topics covered include: how our senses work … and why they don’t work; how we see the world..and why we see it differently; and how our senses affect our behaviour…and why we behave differently.
