The vestibular nuclei and posterior cerebellum are the destination of vestibular primary
afferents and the subject of this review. The vestibular nuclei include four major nuclei …

The anatomical, physiological, and behavioral evidence for the involvement of three regions
of the cerebellum in oculomotor behavior is reviewed here:(1) the oculomotor vermis and …

The ability to orient and navigate through the terrestrial environment represents a
computational challenge common to all vertebrates. It arises because motion sensors in the …

A striking feature of vestibular hair cells is the polarized arrangement of their stereocilia as
the basis for their directional sensitivity. In mammals, each of the vestibular end organs is …

The projection of the posterior canal crista and saccular afferents to the cerebellum of
embryonic and neonatal mice was investigated using carbocyanine dyes. Anterograde …

Collateralization of mossy and climbing fibers was investigated using cortical injections of
cholera toxin b‐subunit in the rat vestibulocerebellum. Injections were characterized by their …

Vestibular and optokinetic space is represented in three-dimensions in vermal lobules IX-X
(uvula, nodulus) and hemisphere lobule X (flocculus) of the cerebellum. Vermal lobules IX-X …

Key points• Electrical stimulation of the cerebellar nodulus and ventral uvula decreases the
time constant of the horizontal vestibulo‐ocular reflex during yaw rotation.• Unlike the …

Downbeat nystagmus (DBN) is a neuro-otological finding frequently encountered by
clinicians dealing with patients with vertigo. Since DBN is a finding that should be …

In adult Lurcher mice virtually all cerebellar Purkinje cells have degenerated as a direct
consequence of mutant gene action, providing a natural model for studying the effect of …
