Abstract
Leg-proprioceptive stimulation in intact humans during rotation of the feet under the stationary body induces nystagmus. The slow component of this leg-eye response reaches a considerable magnitude only at low stimulus frequencies/velocities. It appears to sum linearly with the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) and to prevent VOR gain attenuation at low frequencies, if the body is rotated on the stationary feet. Its normal function could be to aid eye stabilization during slow body sways. © 1995 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.File in questo prodotto:
