Sensory input is unnecessary for the maturation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex circuit in newborns, unlike in adult vertebrates. Zebrafish studies showed that visual information is dispensable for the ...

Ichijo Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic, Hirosaki, Japan. The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is an involuntary response that maintains gaze. As a result of this reflection, the eyes move relatively in the ...

Dizziness is a frequent and challenging symptom in patients with posterior ischemic stroke, often making it difficult to distinguish from peripheral vestibular disorders. The video head impulse test ...

An ancient brain circuit, which enables the eyes to reflexively rotate up as the body tilts down, tunes itself early in life as an animal develops, a new study finds. An ancient brain circuit, which ...

As a zebrafish swims, it uses a brain circuit that turns any shifts in orientation sensed by the balance system into an instant counter-rotation of the eyes. The body rotates but the orientation of ...

An ancient brain circuit, which enables the eyes to reflexively rotate up as the body tilts down, tunes itself early in life as an animal develops, a new study finds. Led by researchers at NYU ...

Summary: Researchers uncovered that the vestibulo-ocular reflex, a vital brain circuit stabilizing gaze during body tilts, matures independently of sensory input in newborns. This reflex, essential ...

This important study asks whether motor neurons within the vestibulo-ocular circuit of zebrafish are required to determine the identity, connectivity, and function of upstream premotor neurons. They ...

That achy, tired feeling comes from more than just screen time. Experts share tips for easing the discomfort. By Katie Mogg After staring at your laptop for hours or scrolling through social media on ...

Researchers identified a gene variant that alters eye reflexes in autism, suggesting a new, easy diagnostic method through eye-tracking, promising quicker diagnoses and advancing autism research and ...

Scientists may have discovered a new way to test for autism by measuring how children's eyes move when they turn their heads. Scientists at UC San Francisco may have discovered a new way to test for ...

Kids with autism tend to have trouble shifting their gaze as their heads move Tests that look for that might give early warning of the condition The findings might also be a boon to autism research ...
