Abstract(in English) In order to effectively stabilize vision, eye movement of the otolith system (LVOR) and of the visual system (smooth pursuit) simultaneously work during head translation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of interaction between these two systems. Eye velocities while pursuing a target moving in the reverse direction of LVOR (REV) and while imagining the moving target in darkness were compared to that of LVOR and smooth pursuit. The phase of eye velocity of REV responses was similar to relative target velocity. Even after dark the eye velocity was in phase with the velocity of previously moving target, and not LVOR velocity. These results imply that the memory of visual system effectively works to inhibit the neural command signal of the otolith system.
