Abstract: Prof M. Arslan is known worldwide for his important scientific and clinical research on the vestibular system. In the 50s and 60s of the 900s he instructed and sent his fellows to the best laboratories and clinics in the world to learn the latest methods for the study of vestibular neurophysiology and pathophysiology, as well as modern methodologies for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the vestibular system.
Faced with a figure of such global importance, it seems almost natural to think that the study of the vestibular system was introduced at the University of Padua by Prof Arslan.
An in-depth retrospective analysis over the centuries of the studies of Paduan anatomists and physiologists, on the other hand, has revealed people, facts (a heated, albeit gentle, scientific dispute) and experimental studies of undoubted value and importance, which will be described in the seminar.
