Visuomotor transformation in the fly gaze stabilization system. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2008 For sensory signals to control an animal's behavior, they must first be transformed into a format appropriate for use by its motor systems. This fundamental problem is faced by all animals, including humans.

Concussed patients with visually induced dizziness exhibit increased ocular torsion and vertical vergence during optokinetic gaze-stabilization [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Visually Induced Dizziness (VID) is a common post-concussion sequalae that remains poorly understood and difficult to quantify. The present study aims to identify biomarkers for VID in the form of gaze-stabilizing eye movements.

Concurrent vestibular activation and postural training recalibrate somatosensory, vestibular and gaze stabilization processes. [PDF]
PLoS ONEPostural instability is a common symptom of vestibular dysfunction that impacts a person's day-to-day activities. Vestibular rehabilitation is effective in decreasing dizziness, visual symptoms and improving postural control through several mechanisms ...

Human proprioceptive gaze stabilization during passive body rotations underneath a fixed head [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe present study explored the presence of torsional gaze-stabilization to proprioceptive neck activation in humans. Thirteen healthy subjects (6 female, mean age 25) were exposed to passive body rotations while maintaining a head-fixed, gravitationally ...

Motor neurons are dispensable for the assembly of a sensorimotor circuit for gaze stabilization [PDF]
eLifeSensorimotor reflex circuits engage distinct neuronal subtypes, defined by precise connectivity, to transform sensation into compensatory behavior. Whether and how motor neuron populations specify the subtype fate and/or sensory connectivity of their pre-

Avian cerebellar floccular fossa size is not a proxy for flying ability in birds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Extinct animal behavior has often been inferred from qualitative assessments of relative brain region size in fossil endocranial casts. For instance, flight capability in pterosaurs and early birds has been inferred from the relative size of the ...

Vestibular patients generate more regular head movements than healthy individuals during gaze-stabilization exercises [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe vestibular system is vital for maintaining stable vision during daily activities. When peripheral vestibular input is lost, patients initially experience impaired gaze stability due to reduced effectiveness of the vestibular-ocular-reflex pathway. To

Eye movements affect postural control in young and older females [PDF]
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2016 Visual information is used for postural stabilization in humans. However, little is known about how eye movements prevalent in everyday life interact with the postural control system in older individuals. Therefore, the present study assessed the effects
