Training-induced adaptive plasticity in human somatosensory reflex pathways.
This paper reviews evidence supporting adaptive plasticity in muscle and cutaneous afferent reflex pathways induced by training and rehabilitative interventions. The perspective is advanced that the behavioral and functional relevance of any intervention and the reflex pathway under study should be considered when evaluating both adaptation and transfer. A cornerstone of this concept can be fou...
متن کاملAdaptation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex in amblyopia.
Adaptation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is demonstrated by changes in gain in response to discrepancies between visual and vestibular stimulation. The authors have investigated the effect of monocular asymmetries of OKN in amblyopia upon adapting the gain of the VOR. Adaptation was investigated by modifying the horizontal balance of the VOR. While monocularly fixating a head referenced ...
متن کاملThe Cerebellar Nodulus/Uvula Integrates Otolith Signals for the Translational Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex
BACKGROUND The otolith-driven translational vestibulo-ocular reflex (tVOR) generates compensatory eye movements to linear head accelerations. Studies in humans indicate that the cerebellum plays a critical role in the neural control of the tVOR, but little is known about mechanisms of this control or the functions of specific cerebellar structures. Here, we chose to investigate the contribution...
متن کاملViewing distance dependence of the vestibulo-ocular reflex during translation: extra-otolith influences
Despite nearly perfect gaze stability during natural head movements, the amplitude of the vestibulo-ocular reflex during passive head and body translation (TVOR) has been consistently reported to be undercompensatory during near target viewing. Here we have compared the rhesus monkey TVOR during pure head and body translation with the eye movements generated during eccentric yaw rotations, wher...
متن کاملTorsional vestibulo-ocular reflex measurements for identifying otolith asymmetries possibly related to space motion sickness susceptibility.
Recent studies by Diamond and Markham have identified significant correlations between space motion sickness susceptibility and measures of disconjugate torsional eye movements recorded during parabolic flights. These results support an earlier proposal by von Baumgarten and Thumler which hypothesized that an asymmetry of otolith function between the two ears is the cause of space motion sickn...
