Physiology of cervico-ocular reflex 2
contradictory results were obtained by many authors when recording the eye movements evoked by neck torsion
both compensatory,anticompensatory and intermediate movements were documented
the results depend on the stimulus frequency with shift towards compensation with slower rotations and behavioural context (head in the space vs.. trunk in the space concepts)
Jurgens and Mergner (1989) demonstrated definite cervicogennic response in a group of 20 healthy subjects,
enhancement of VOR by combination of neck and vestibular stimuli
shift of the neck induced eye movements towards compensation from 0.2 Hz to 0.05 Hz
