Abstract
Pressure recordings in the esophageal body, LES and stomach were performed in 10 healthy subjects before and after caloric stimulation of the labyrinth. While esophageal and stomach responses varied or were absent, all subjects showed variations at the LES level. Duration of LES relaxation was increased and both time and amplitude of LES augmentation were significantly reduced. The physiological mechanism of labyrinthine-digestive connections and the possibility of clinical applications are discussed.
