Spatial navigation entropy suggests allocentric dysfunction in PPPD by Felipe Faúndez, Camilo Arévalo-Romero, Karen Villarroel, Claudio Lavín, Kevin Alarcón, Kevin Alarcón, Gustavo Vial, Francisco Artus, Pablo Billeke, Paul H. Delano, Paul H. Delano, Paul H. Delano, Hayo A. Breinbauer, Hayo A. Breinbauer

“…VR intolerance was highest in PPPD patients, followed by vestibular controls, with healthy volunteers showing the lowest discomfort.DiscussionOur findings suggest that PPPD involves deficits in allocentric spatial navigation, likely due to predictive coding errors and impaired internal model updating, rather than sensory input dysfunction. …”
