Sensorimotor physiology: modeling, imaging, and neural control

The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) stabilizes vision during head motion. Age-related changes of vestibular neuroanatomical properties predict a linear decay of VOR function. Nonetheless, human epidemiological data show a stable VOR ...

Simple photoreceptors without microvilli or cilia, the photorescponsive neurons, designated as A-P-1, Es-1, Ip-2, and Ip-1, exist in the abdominal ganglion of sea slug Onchidium. Of these, A-P-1 and Es-1 respond to light with a depolarizing receptor ...

Rhythmic movements in biological systems are produced in part by central circuits called central pattern generators (CPGs). For example, locomotion in vertebrates derives from the spinal CPG with activity initiated by the brain and controlled by sensory ...
