How the brain computes accurate estimates of our self-motion relative to the world and our
orientation relative to gravity in order to ensure accurate perception and motor control is a …

Recent discoveries have emphasized the role of the vestibular system in cognitive
processes such as memory, spatial navigation and bodily self-consciousness. A precise …

The vestibular cerebellum plays an essential role in maintaining our balance and ensuring
perceptual stability during activities of daily living. Here I examine three key regions of the …

Elegant sensory structures in the inner ear have evolved to measure head motion. These
vestibular receptors consist of highly conserved semicircular canals and otolith organs …

Following the fundamental recognition of its involvement in sensory-motor coordination and
learning, the cerebellum is now also believed to take part in the processing of cognition and …

The vast computational power of the brain has traditionally been viewed as arising from the
complex connectivity of neural networks, in which an individual neuron acts as a simple …

In the next century, flying civilians to space or humans to Mars will no longer be a subject of
science fiction. The altered gravitational environment experienced during space flight, as …

The compartmentalization of the cerebellum into modules is often used to discuss its
function. What, exactly, can be considered a module, how do they operate, can they be …

Research on brain areas involved in experiencing emotion and physical pain is abundant;
however, psychological pain has received little attention in studies of the brain. The purpose …

Spatial representation is an active process that requires complex multimodal integration
from a large interacting network of cortical and subcortical structures. We sought to …
