Abstract
To maintain a clear and stable view of the environment during head movement, we rotate our eyes in a direction that is opposite to the retinal image motion using both vestibularly and visually driven reflexes. The vestibulo-ocular reflexes are driven by signals from the vestibular labyrinths and use subcortical, short-latency pathways from the vestibular afferents to the extraocular motor neurons. The relatively simple neural architecture of these reflexive responses, coupled with their stereotyped but highly adaptable properties, make them ideal to understand simple sensorimotor transformations.
