Ballet dancers' brains 'adapt to spins'

Ballet dancers develop differences in their brain structures to allow them to perform pirouettes without feeling dizzy, a study has found.

A team from Imperial College London said dancers appear to suppress signals from the inner ear to the brain.

Dancers traditionally use a technique called "spotting", which minimises head movement.

The researchers say their findings may help patients who experience chronic dizziness.

Interesting. Will it work for blondes too?
