Our ability to navigate the world around us requires that the brain maintain a representation of ongoing self-motion. In order for this to occur, vestibular sensory information about rotational and linear movement of the head in space is relayed via vestibular afferents in the VIIIth cranial nerve to the vestibular nuclei in the brainstem. From there, vestibular signals contribute to gaze and posture-stabilizing reflexes through projections to oculomotor neurons and the spinal cord, as well as to cortical processing of spatial orientation and perception of self-motion. Through recordings in rhesus monkey, the goal of my thesis work is to investigate the encoding of these signals in ascending vestibulo-thalamic pathways that contribute to se...
