Professor Americo Migliaccio heads a research group that investigates the neural mechanisms underlying the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). He is particularly focused on determining the neural mechanisms important for recovery after partial injury of the vestibular organ/s. He is also developing a new rehabilitation technique and device to modify VOR function.
