Fig. 5 Utricular-recipient neurons putatively involved in the VOR. (A) Horizontal projection of reconstructions of 11 identified tangential nucleus and 12 identified superior vestibular nucleus neurons (grays) along with 11 putative tangential and 6 putative SVN neurons that receive direct utricular input (colors). Neurons were identified as putative VOR neurons based on soma position and initial axon trajectory. One putative tangential nucleus neuron (dark blue, caudally located) was identified based on apparent homology to commissural neurons described by Bianco et al. (B) Sagittal view of the same neuron reconstructions as in (A). (C) Summary of the inferred directional tuning of identified (left) and putative (right) VOR neurons with utricular input.
