Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The vestibule-ocular reflex (VOR) has been one of the most popular model systems to investigate the role of the cerebellum in adaptive motor control. It was reported that performance of the VOR is modifiable context-dependently. Namely, VOR gain can be increased for leftward head rotation, while it can be decreased for rightward head rotation simultaneously. This instance implies the possibility that the cerebellum flexibly processes context dependent input signals. Presently, we conducted a simulation study on context-dependent VOR motor learning, especially in head direction selective motor learning, using the artificial cerebellar neuronal network model that we developed to understand the origin of the flexible cerebellar motor learning.
