description

■ The function of the ocular motor system is to hold images stable on the fovea. The vestibular system and the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) also play an important role in this function. The VOR connects the peripheral vestibular endorgans – the semicircular canals and otoliths – with their appropriate pair of eye muscles via a three-neuronal arc.
