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.
