PY - 2021 T2 - Principles of Neural Science, 6e AB - MODERN VEHICULAR TRAVEL ON EARTH and through extraterrestrial space relies upon sophisticated guidance systems that integrate acceleration, velocity, and positional information through transducers, computational algorithms, and satellite triangulation. Yet the principles of inertial guidance are ancient: Vertebrates have used analogous systems for 500 million years and invertebrates for even longer. In these animals, the inertial guidance system, termed the vestibular system, serves to detect and interpret motion through space as well as orientation relative to gravity.
