Abstract

A prominent cervico-ocular reflex (COR) can be observed in man with loss of labyrinthine function (e.g., Kasai, Zee 1978). According to Meiry (1971), a COR can also be observed in subjects (Ss) with intact labyrinths, although it is clearly weaker; the COR was found to be synergistic with the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) during isolated head rotation, thus aiding stabilization of gaze in space. However, deviating results as to the direction (i.e.phase) of the COR have been reported by other authors (e.g., Barnes, Forbat 1979). Furthermore, it has been suggested in the past that the role of the neck input is mainly to reorient rather than to stabilize gaze in space, since it leads to a shift of overall eye position in the orbit (“Schlagfeldverlagerung”) in the direction of head rotation (Frenzel 1928).KeywordsStimulus FrequencyHead RotationEstimation TaskTrunk RotationStimulus CombinationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
