[Changes in nystagmus following otolith stimulation].

In rabbits, stimulation of the otolith organs was shown to exert a double effect on nystagmus evokedby adequate stimulation of semicircular canals' receptors: The immediate and the delayed. On simultaneous stimulation of the two portions of vestibular apparatus, inhibition of systagmus occurs. In the course of aftereffect of the otolith stimulation, both the activated and the inhibited responses as well as the responses similar to control can be revealed, depending on the time interval between presentationsof otolith and cupulous stimuli.
