Vestibular habituation to angular velocity steps in the cat.

摘要: Vestibular habituation was investigated in 6 adult cats submitted to repetitive alternating velocity steps (160°/sec). The progressive change of the nystagmic response examined by constructing diagrams slow cumulative eye position and phase velocity; then it quantified evaluating some characteristic parameters these diagrams. Both acquisition during series stimulations delivered same day retention after a rest period one or four days were clearly observed. experimental results explained terms mathematical model vestibulo-cerebellar interaction. validity assessed simulation experiments.
