Vestibular Signals in Self-Orientation and Eye Movement Control

Bernhard J. M. Hess

Neurologische Klinik & Poliklinik, Universitätsspital, CH-8091 Zürich, Switzerland
The central vestibular system receives afferent information about head position as well as rotation and translation. This information is used to prevent blurring of the retinal image but also to control self-orientation and motion in space. Vestibular signal processing in the brain stem appears to be linked to an internal model of head motion in space.
