The effect of electrical stimulation of the cochlea on vestibular response was monitored in six rhesus monkeys. Eye movements and single-unit activity from the vestibular portion of the eighth nerve, vestibular nuclei, reticular formation, and abducens nucleus were observed while electrical stimulation was delivered through an implanted cochlear prosthesis. In one animal of this series, neural activity from the inferior colliculus and cochlear nuclear complex was also recorded. Electrical stimulation elicited eye-movement responses in only one animal. In the animals from which single-unit activity was recorded, no positive vestibular effects were noted. In one animal of this study, responses were elicited from auditory structures by relatively low intensities of electrical stimulation.
在六只恒河猴身上监测了耳蜗电刺激对前庭反应的影响。通过植入式人工耳蜗进行电刺激时，观察了眼动以及来自第八神经前庭部分、前庭核、网状结构和展神经核的单单位活动。在该系列的一只动物中，还记录了下丘和耳蜗核复合体的神经活动。电刺激仅在一只动物中引发了眼动反应。在记录了单单位活动的动物中，未观察到前庭的积极效应。在本研究的一只动物中，相对低强度的电刺激引发了听觉结构的反应。
