The vestibulo-ocular reflex and seasickness susceptibility.
VOR parameters were compared in subjects at the extremes of the seasickness susceptibility scale. Thirty-nine subjects highly susceptible to seasickness and 30 nonsusceptible subjects participated in the study. The VOR was evaluated by the Sinusoidal Harmonic Acceleration (SHA) test at frequencies of 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.08, and 0.16 Hz. In subjects susceptible to seasickness, VOR gain was signi...
متن کاملThe vestibulo-ocular reflex of hypergravity rats.
The vertebrate vestibular system detects linear (otolith organs) and angular (semicircular canals) acceleration. The function of the otolith system is twofold, 1: perception of linear acceleration of the head, and 2: assessment of the spatial orientation of the head relative to the vector of gravity. Because of the latter function, a change of gravity will affect the vestibular input which, in ...
متن کاملCerebellar learning in the vestibulo-ocular reflex.
The vestibulo-ocular reflex, because of its close relationship with the cerebellum and its marked adaptiveness, has become a model system for studying the functions of the cerebellum. It has been hypothesized that an evolutionarily old part of the cerebellum, the flocculus, forms a modifiable accessory pathway for the vestibulo-ocular reflex arc for adaptive control, and that the modification i...
متن کاملVestibular signals carried by pathways subserving plasticity of the vestibulo-ocular reflex in monkeys.
The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is subject to long-term adaptive changes that minimize retinal image slip and keep eye movement equal to and opposite head movement. As a step toward identifying the site of neural changes, we have used a transient vestibular stimulus to study the dynamic response properties of the vestibular signals carried by the modifiable pathways. In normal monkeys, "rapid...
متن کاملLooking with a paralysed eye: adaptive plasticity of the vestibulo-ocular reflex.
When a patient with a peripheral monocular paresis is forced to look with the paretic eye, head movements induce the sensation of an unstable visual world. The patient behaves as if he had acute bilateral labyrinthine lesions. These symptoms are due to the lack of compensatory ocular movement and the patients complain that the visual objects move in the direction opposite to the head. The patie...
