β¦ Synopsis
Head velocity-related modulations in Purkinje cell activity were observed in lobules VI and VII of the cerebellar vermis. The sensitivities and phase shifts with respect to head velocity of Purkinje cells were comparable with vestibular responses observed in the fastigial nuclei. The results support the hypothesis of a vermal target velocity correlate and necessitate the inclusion of vermal lobules VI and VII among the cerebellar regions involved with vestibular information processing.

Recordings from neurons of the vestibular nuclei were performed in alert monkeys. Type I and type II units were identified by rotating the monkey about a vertical axis. Al neurons responded also when only the visual surround was rotated around the stationary monkey. The combination of visual and ves
Single neurons were recorded in the vestibular nuclei of monkeys trained to suppress nystagmus by visual fixation during vestibular or optokinetic stimulation. During optokinetic nystagmus vestibular nuclei neurons exhibit frequency changes. With the suppression of optokinetic nystagmus this neurona
