Lesions of the cerebellar nodulus and uvula impair downward pursuit.
We studied sinusoidal (SIN) and step-ramp (SR) pursuit in two rhesus monkeys, before and after surgical lesions of the cerebellar nodulus and uvula (Nod/Uv). Eye movements were recorded using the magnetic field scleral search coil method. Pursuit targets were generated by an LCD projector and back-projected onto a tangent screen in an otherwise dark room. After the Nod/Uv lesions, both monkeys ...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal properties of optic flow and vestibular tuning in the cerebellar nodulus and uvula.
Convergence of visual motion and vestibular information is essential for accurate spatial navigation. Such multisensory integration has been shown in cortex, e.g., the dorsal medial superior temporal (MSTd) and ventral intraparietal (VIP) areas, but not in the parieto-insular vestibular cortex (PIVC). Whether similar convergence occurs subcortically remains unknown. Many Purkinje cells in verma...
متن کاملPlane-specific Purkinje cell responses to vertical head rotations in the cat cerebellar nodulus and uvula.
We recorded simple spike (SS) and complex spike (CS) firing of Purkinje cell in the cerebellar nodulus and uvula of awake, head-restrained cats during sinusoidal vertical rotation of the head in four stimulus planes (pitch, roll, and two vertical canal planes). Two SS response types (position- and velocity-types) with response phases close to those of head position and velocity, respectively, w...
متن کاملTopography and reciprocal activity of cerebellar Purkinje cells in the uvula-nodulus modulated by vestibular stimulation.
In the rabbit uvula-nodulus, vestibular and optokinetic information is mapped onto parasagittal zones by climbing fibers. These zones are related functionally to different pairs of vertical semicircular canals, otolithic inputs and horizontal optokinetic inputs. Vestibular stimulation restricted to one of these zones modulates climbing fiber responses (CFRs). Within each of these zones, simple ...
متن کاملFrequency-selective coding of translation and tilt in macaque cerebellar nodulus and uvula.
Spatial orientation depends critically on the brain's ability to segregate linear acceleration signals arising from otolith afferents into estimates of self-motion and orientation relative to gravity. In the absence of visual information, this ability is known to deteriorate at low frequencies. The cerebellar nodulus/uvula (NU) has been shown to participate in this computation, although its exa...
