Response linearity of alert monkey non-eye movement vestibular nucleus neurons during sinusoidal yaw rotation.
Vestibular afferents display linear responses over a range of amplitudes and frequencies, but comparable data for central vestibular neurons are lacking. To examine the effect of stimulus frequency and magnitude on the response sensitivity and linearity of non-eye movement central vestibular neurons, we recorded from the vestibular nuclei in awake rhesus macaques during sinusoidal yaw rotation ...
متن کاملTests of linearity in the responses of eye-movement-sensitive vestibular neurons to sinusoidal yaw rotation.
The rotational vestibulo-ocular reflex in primates is linear and stabilizes gaze in space over a large range of head movements. Best evidence suggests that position-vestibular-pause (PVP) and eye-head velocity (EHV) neurons in the vestibular nuclei are the primary mediators of vestibulo-ocular reflexes for rotational head movements, yet the linearity of these neurons has not been extensively te...
متن کاملActivity of vestibular nuclei neurons during vestibular and optokinetic stimulation in the alert mouse.
As a result of the availability of genetic mutant strains and development of noninvasive eye movements recording techniques, the mouse stands as a very interesting model for bridging the gap among behavioral responses, neuronal response dynamics studied in vivo, and cellular mechanisms investigated in vitro. Here we characterized the responses of individual neurons in the mouse vestibular nucle...
متن کاملUnit activity in accessory optic system in alert monkeys.
An accessory optic fiber system was only recently demonstrated unequivocally in the primate. Fiber bundles branch off the primary optical pathway, synapse in the accessory optic nucleus, and continue to the nucleus of the transpeduncular tract in the rostroventral region of the midbrain medial to the substantia nigra and ventromedial to the red nucleus.-' •' In exploring midbrain structures of ...

17 Maintaining a constant representation of our heading as we move through the world requires the 18 accurate estimate of spatial orientation. As one turns (or is turned) toward a new heading, signals 19 from the semi-circular canals are relayed through the vestibular system to higher-order centers 20 that encode head direction. To date, there is no direct electrophysiological evidence confirmi...
