 Vestibulo-ocular reflex - definition of Vestibulo-ocular reflex in Encyclopedia
The vestibulo-ocular reflex, or VOR, is a reflex eye movement that stabilizes images on the retina during head movement by producing an eye movement in the direction opposite to head movement.
For the VOR, the vestibular nuclei serve the role that the deep cerebellar nuclei serve for other cerebellum-dependent behaviors like eyeblink conditioning.
Such adjustments are needed throughout life, as neurons and muscles develop, weaken, and die--or for humans, when a new pair of eyeglasses changes the magnification of the visual field.

 Electro-oculographic measures of the vestibulo ocular reflex...
ocular reflex (HV VOR) was studied in eight patients with peripheral vestibular damage; 25 to 63 years of age.
The reflex was clearly different from the smooth reflex without compensatory saccades induced with rotations to the normal side.

Similarly, the vestibulo-ocular reflex is accurate during natural turns in that the reflexive eye velocity compensates for the head velocity and stabilizes vision relative to Earth-fixed targets.
The vestibulo-ocular reflex influences vision during natural movement much more than is generally appreciated, and it is capable of subtle and occasional profound influence on vision in aviation.
The vestibulo-ocular reflex automatically stabilizes the eyes relative to external visual surroundings during head movements to maintain visual acuity for Earth-fixed targets.

The classic example of the vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) and its functional significance was described by a physician with peripheral vestibular dysfunction.
VOR disturbances are treated with different forms of rehabilitation exercises.
Thus, the main purpose of the VOR is to maintain objects on the fovea, thereby allowing a person to clearly visualize objects during brief head movements.

The object of this study was to determine what aspects of the vestibulo-ocular reflex are affected by temperature changes naturally experienced by a poikilothermic animal, the goldfish.
However, individual physiological, biochemical, and/or pharmacological thermolabile processes that underlie the operation of this reflex could alter the operation of this reflex in a poikilotherm.
2) Experiments were conducted on the visuo-vestibulo- (Vis-VOR) and vestibulo- ocular reflex (VOR) during normal operation and during the acquisition (learning) and retention (memory) phases of adaptive gain change.

These behaviors include eyeblink conditioning, motor learning in the vestibulo-ocular reflex, and birdsong.
It is obviously necessary for complicated movements such as playing the piano and climbing trees, but it is also important for calibrating simple movements like reflexes, as parameters of the body and environment change over time.
Although motor learning is capable of achieving Olympic feats of skill, much has been learned from studies of simple behaviors.
