Abstract
The vestibulo-ocular reflex which stabilizes the eyes during head rotation is an elegant sensorimotor system that has long attracted the attention of theoretical neuroscientists. Previous models based on classical analysis and control systems theory provided precise descriptions of overall vestibulo-ocular reflex dynamics but indicated little about the nature of the neurons that mediate this response. More recently dynamic neural network models have extended the description to the neural level providing new insights into the mechanisms of sensorimotor signal processing in the vestibulo-ocular reflex.
