Abstract

This chapter reviews the data from the studies which recorded head and eye movements of alert monkeys while they ran around in light and in darkness. The data have shown that the head contributes importantly to gaze compensation during circular locomotion. The study asks several questions, such as whether neck proprioceptors play a role in the control of head movements, and what is the relative contribution of the head and eyes to gaze stabilization. It is shown in this study that there is active movement of the head and eyes to produce compensatory gaze nystagmus. It is also inferred that a major function of velocity storage is to support gaze compensation during locomotion.
