Abstract
We present here a bilateral model for the horizontal rotational vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) that integrates sigmoidal nonlinearities in the response of VOR interneurons. This model realistically links the systems level approach to the underlying neural mechanisms. It is capable of producing VOR modulations with viewing context using only the efference copies of eye position signals to make novel predictions.
