Comparison of average neuronal and behavioural responses during passive and active head-on-body rotations. (A) Average sensitivities of the population of type I (n=34) and type II (n=20) PVP neurons during passive (grey) and active (black) movements before (n=16) and after (n=38) contralateral labyrinthectomy. The difference in the sensitivity of type I PVP neurons (top panel) during active versus passive movements reached significance 3 weeks post-lesion (20% difference; paired t-test, p = 0.04). In contrast, there was no significant difference between the responses of Type II PVP neurons during active and passive movements even 2 month after lesion (paired t-test, p > 0.3). (B) After lesion, VOR gains averaged across both animals were significantly higher during active head movements compared to similar passive rotations (paired t-test, p < 0.03). * indicates significant difference, paired t-test, p < 0.05
