Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Constructing a realistic eye movement simulation system with intermediate neural signals is a useful approach to quantitatively analyzing the neural system for visuo-motor transformation. We constructed a simulation system for vertical ocular following responses (OFR) that can recreate the firing rate of Purkinje cells and ocular responses from the various velocity-step visual stimulations used in physiological experiments. We constructed the system by combining two systems. One is a non-linear simulation system that relates retinal slip to VPFL simple spike firing rate. The other is a linear simulation system that relates retinal slip to VPFL simple spike firing rate. We discuss the locations in the neural system of the saturation and filters used in the simulation system. Furthermore, we explain why different filters are needed for downward and upward OFR systems.
