The Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Arc

  • Chapter
Vestibular System Part 1: Basic Mechanisms

Part of the book series: Handbook of Sensory Physiology ((1653,volume 6 / 1))

Abstract

Three topics related to Vestibulo-Ocular Reflexes will be considered in this chapter: (1) The function of eye movements induced by the Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Arc. (2) The pattern of eye movements induced by various parts of the vestibular apparatus. (3) The central pathways which carry activity responsible for these deviations.1
