Cerebellectomy and the transfer function of the vestibulo-ocular reflex in the decerebrate cat

摘要: (1) Experiments are described in which the frequency transfer function of vestibuloocular reflex decerebrate cats is measured, for sinusoidal movements head about a vertical axis. (2) The response found to be flat over range frequencies from 0.02 1 Hz. (3) By allowing combined functions semicircular canals and eye mechanics, it that nervous system integrating vestibular signal with respect time this range. (4) Evidence adduced integration not performed by means velocity feedback eye. (5) It cerebellectomy, or reversible cooling cerebellum, causes marked cut low-frequency gain compatible possibility cerebellum performing integration.
