Uvula-nodulus and gravity direction (a study on vertical optokinetic-oculomotor functions)

Some characteristics of vertical optokinetic nystagmus and after-nystagmus, in particular, its up/down gain asymmetry, are known to be influenced by gravity direction, which is basically perceived by otolith organs. However, how such an information of gravity direction is processed within the centra...
