Vestibulo-ocular reflexes

…sensorimotor transformation the vestibulo-ocular reflexes (VOR), generating compensatory eye movements in response to head motion, require vestibular inputs which are integrated by extraocular motoneurons.In Xenopus larvae, the onset of the angular VOR (aVOR) is delayed compare to other visuo-vestibular reflexes. This delay could imply the existence of distinct parallel pathways in vestibulo-ocular networks, involving distinct motoneuron functional sub

The vestibular organ is an integral sensory systems designed to provide afferent information to the brain. Once integrated, efferent signals are transmitted to produce a motor output associated with gaze stabilization through compensatory eye movements, postural adjustments, and maintenance of static and dynamic balance. A bilateral reduction or absence of vestibular function is classified as bilateral vestibulopathy (BV). Patients typically experience a multitude of symptoms, consequently resulting in a significant reduction in quality of life. Currently, no effective treatment is available.
