Single unit recordings were made in the posterior parietal association cortex (area 7) of the behaving monkey. Visual tracking neurons were identified by the discharge pattern during the task of pursuit of moving visual objects. Vestibular inputs to these tracking neurons were examined by sinusoidal rotation of the turntable, on which the monkey was seated. The activity of more than half of horizontal tracking neurons was modulated by horizontal rotation in the dark. Most of them responded to the head rotation with the same preferred direction as visual tracking. It was concluded that visual tracking neurons of area 7 receive vestibular input and therefore are likely to integrate visual and vestibular informations.
在行为猴的后顶叶联合皮层（7区）进行了单神经元记录。通过在追踪移动视觉物体任务期间的放电模式来识别视觉追踪神经元。通过让猴子坐在上面的转台进行正弦旋转，来检查这些追踪神经元的前庭输入。超过一半的水平追踪神经元的活动在黑暗中受到水平旋转的调制。它们中的大多数对头部旋转的反应与视觉追踪的偏好方向相同。得出的结论是，7区的视觉追踪神经元接受前庭输入，因此可能整合视觉和前庭信息。
