[Internal reference frame for representation and storage of visual information during standing]
Abstract:
The participation of different afferent systems in organization of internal reference frame was studied. For this was chosen the task of visual comparison that executed in different experimental conditions: in upright standing, with inclined body or head in frontal plane and availability or non-availability visual information about external environment. Results showed that dominant orientation of referent stimulus (minimal value of mean error and minimal variability of responses) was connected with body position, mainly head position but not with gravity and visual vertical even when visual environment was available. It means that for creating the internal representing of vertical CNS mainly uses proprioceptive information about longitudinal axis of body.
