Title:Context Dependent Geometries of Neural Trajectories during Locomotion.

The vestibular system is vital for encoding self-motion and generating reflexes that are essential for posture, perceptual stability, and gaze stabilization during our everyday activities. To maintain our posture relative to space, the vestibular system relies on vestibulospinal reflex pathways comprising the vestibular nuclei and cerebellum. There is much to discover about how neurons in these pathways ensure balance during locomotion. Using non-human primates as our model system, we will explore the geometry of the neural population dynamics during locomotion.
