Vestibular reflexes

[gocentral]

Please add vestibular reflexes as a child of GO term:sensory perception GO id:GO:0007600

Also please add angular vestibuloocular reflex linear vestibuloocular reflexes as child of Vestibular reflexes

Vestibular reflexes: Angular and translational accelerations of the head activate vestibular afferent inputs that initiate compensatory ocular reflexes during locomotion.

angular vestibuloocular reflexes: compensatory ocular reflexes generated from Semicircular canal-related inputs.

linear vestibuloocular reflexes: compensatory ocular reflexes generated from otolith-related inputs.

Sensory perception requires higher order neuological processing, that is the point of the perception part. I propose that we have a term that is a child of response to external stimuls called reflex process. These terms and the current terms would then be is_a children of this new term. [Term] id: GO:new name: reflex process namespace: biological_process def: "An automatic response to a stimulus beginning with a nerve impulse from a receptor and ending with the action of an effector such as a gland or a muscle. Signaling never reaches a level of conciousness."[ISBN:087797099, GOC:dph] related_synonym: "" [] exact_synonym: "" [] is_a: GO:0009605 ! response to external stimulus

Then Li's terms would be is_a children of this new term.

I see no problem with this. The definitions may need a bit of a tweak though. What is the process?

Maybe it should be more like:

vestibular reflex Compensatory ocular motion elicited by the activation of vestibular afferent inputs in response to angular and translational acceleration of the head during locomotion.

angular vestibuloocular reflex Compensatory ocular motion elicited by the stimulation of semicircular canal-related inputs during locomotion.

linear vestibuloocular reflex: Compensatory ocular motion elicited by the stimulation of otolith-related inputs during locomotion.

Doug,

I would define them all in an aristotelian way by differntiating the response to external stimulus and then specifying what Li gave in her proposed defs.

I'm not sure I understand. In this case there is no differentia on the response...it is an ocular response in each case. The differentia seems to be the type of stimuls, right?

Ah..its clear to me now. Two thumbs up.

We found this approach really helpful during the is_a complete work. When we got stuck we asked "What is it?" Then we asked can we define it as "x" by which "yyz". I'll implement this tomorrow.
