The cerebellar nodulus/uvula integrates otolith signals for the translational vestibulo-ocular reflex.
The otolith-driven translational vestibulo-ocular reflex (tVOR) generates compensatory eye movements to linear head accelerations. Studies in humans indicate that the cerebellum plays a critical role in the neural control of the tVOR, but little is known about mechanisms of this control or the funct...
