Research in the vestibular field has revealed the existence of a central process, called
'velocity storage', that is activated by both visual and vestibular rotation cues and is modified …

Head direction cells form an internal compass signaling head azimuth orientation even
without visual landmarks. This property is generated by a neuronal ring attractor that is …

Here we characterize persistent apogeotropic type of central positional nystagmus, and
compare it with the apogeotropic nystagmus of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo …

Brainstem and cerebellar neurons implement an internal model to accurately estimate self-
motion during externally generated ('passive') movements. However, these neurons show …

A combination of theory and behavioral findings support a role for internal models in the
resolution of sensory ambiguities and sensorimotor processing. Although the cerebellum …

The Nodulus and Uvula (NU)(lobules X and IX of the cerebellar vermis) form a prominent
center of vestibular information processing. Over decades, fundamental and clinical …

The central vestibular system operates to precisely estimate the rotational velocity and
gravity orientation using the inherently ambiguous information from peripheral vestibular …

Theories of cerebellar functions posit that the cerebellum implements internal models for
online correction of motor actions and sensory estimation. As an example of such …

A recent neurophysiology study provides data from the cerebellar vermis/nodulus, where
neurons encode translation of the head, even when these translations are induced via an …

Periodic alternating nystagmus (PAN) is a rare oscillatory ocular motor disorder. The effects
of gravity on the dynamic behavior of PAN can be studied by monitoring the nystagmus …
