The inboard ailerons as fitted to the 777 are actually Flaperons They are capable of moving together but only down (and obviously back to neutral!). This is a function of trailing edge flap position to increase the area of trailing edge flap. They will modulate around the redefined neutral as a command of roll.
The flaperons will also move down if the engine thrust is moved into the takeoff range (with flaps up!)
