Correction...
TIME presents the Rand McNally Atlas of the Body... that is the name of the book.
And I was correct (for once  ... it is the Cerebellum which controls vertigo...
All the information flows into the cerebellum and allows it to continually modify the activity in the main motor pathways so that the body is held balanced in an upright position. Faulty information form these organs results in the feelings of vertigo, when the room appears to spin although the body is quite still.
I was prescribed Meclizine for this problem when I had it. It makes you sleepy and you indeed fall into a deep sleep but when you wake your vertigo is gone.
I studied this book when my MS was active and told my neuro what I felt (he was trained at the MS Clinic in Pittsburgh under their top neurologist) and he said you're no dummy...a second long look and he said no, you aren't stupid.
I feel they are looking at MS all wrong. I too think there's a reason the most they have learned about MS is through AIDS research.
