了解感觉通路在自然条件下如何传递信息仍然是神经科学的主要目标。前庭系统在日常生活中起着至关重要的作用，有助于从反射到最高水平的自愿行为的广泛功能。最近的实验表明，前庭（自我运动）处理本质上是多模态的，也提供了一组相互关联的问题的见解：什么神经代码是用来代表前庭通路的感觉信息？生物体与环境的相互作用如何塑造编码？自我运动信息处理是如何调整以满足特定任务的需要的？这篇评论强调了最近在了解大脑如何编码和处理自我运动以确保准确的运动控制方面取得的进展。
Understanding how sensory pathways transmit information under natural conditions remains a major goal in neuroscience. The vestibular system plays a vital role in everyday life, contributing to a wide range of functions from reflexes to the highest levels of voluntary behavior. Recent experiments establishing that vestibular (self-motion) processing is inherently multimodal also provide insight into a set of interrelated questions: What neural code is used to represent sensory information in vestibular pathways? How does the organism’s interaction with the environment shape encoding? How is self-motion information processing adjusted to meet the needs of specific tasks? This review highlights progress that has recently been made towards understanding how the brain encodes and processes self-motion to ensure accurate motor control.
