Data for Brain Reference Architecture of NM24VestibuloOcularReflex

Abstract

Computational models have been proposed for the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), one of the key　components of eye movements. To realize brain-inspired software , it is necessary to comprehensively describe and organize the functions of brainstem nuclei related to VOR in alignment with other types　of eye movements.. In this paper, we introduced the concept of “network motifs” , which are repeatedly occurring circuit patterns consisting of multiple nodes with input-output transformations that can be interpreted as computational functions. Based on this concept, we organized the functions of the nuclei. Furthermore, based on the hierarchical functional decomposition, we propose hypotheses for new anatomical structures in some nuclei. Also, we will discuss the details and validity of these proposals, as well as the issues with the currently proposed information-processing structure of neural nuclei involved in VOR.
