Multisensory control of human upright stance
The interaction of different orientation senses contributing to posture control is not well understood. We therefore performed experiments in which we measured the postural responses of normal subjects and ves...

Abnormal resonance behavior of the postural control loop in Parkinson’s disease
Human postural control of upright stance sporadically can show an oscillatory behavior. Based on previous work, we assessed whether an abnormal tendency for such oscillations might contribute to the motor impa...

Simple Model of Sensory Interaction in Human Postural Control
Upright body stance is inherently unstable. Active feedback control utilizing motion cues from various sensory systems is necessary in order to maintain this upright position. Visual, somatosensory, and vestib...

Differences between cats in response properties of horizontal semicircular canal primary afferents
The response properties of cat horizontal canal afferents (N = 81) were characterized by three parameters: their long time constants (τ), low frequency gain constants (G1), and middle frequency gain constants (Gm

Raesponses to head tilt in cat eighth nerve afferents
Responses to head tilt were recorded from eighth nerve axons in barbiturate anesthetized cats. The maximally excitatory head tilt (polarization vector), a zero-force discharge rate, and tilt sensitivity were m...
