Sensing and Controlling Motion: Vestibular and Sensorimotor Function

By David L. Tomko and Bernard Cohen

Book Overview

This volume provides an overview of many of the issues that are currently of interest or importance to the vestibular and sensorimotor community, particularly as they relate to the perception and control of motion. Sections are included on vestibular transduction; studies of spatial orientation and three-dimensional organization; visual basis for the linear VOR and visual input to the VOR; perception of motion and position in hypergravity and hypogravity; neural processing and pathophysiology of the vestibular nuclei; stabilization of gaze and posture; and vestibular and cerebellar transmitters.
