The vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) stabilizes visual image on the retina during head movements. The VOR is under adaptive control in which cerebellum is intimately involved. The VOR research in neuroscience can be divided into 4 different mutually related categories: 1) identification of the neuronal circuitry, 2) identification of the neuronal locus responsible for the motor learning, 3) mechanisms of synaptic and nonsynaptic plasticities at the learning and memory site(s), 4) computational algorithms. This article reviews these aspects in the VOR research, clarifying different mechanisms for the short and long term, and high and low gain VOR motor learning.
