The influence of vestibular stimulation by subliminal pendular rotation on the optokinetic nystagmus in normal human subjects is discussed. Cortical OKN with pendular rotation was promoted in three indexes--eye speed, frequency, and total amplitude. The subcortical OKN increased markedly when the slow phase of OHN and the compensatory eye movement resulting from the pendular rotation were in the same direction. However, it was inhibited when the two directions were mutually opposed. From the results obtained in the present experiment and in the previous study by the author, it can be concluded that the vestibular organs' effect on visual function is not only promotive but also inhibitive.
讨论了阈下摆动旋转引起的前庭刺激对正常人类受试者视动性眼震的影响。在三个指标——眼速、频率和总振幅方面，摆动旋转引起的皮质性视动性眼震得到了促进。当视动性眼震的慢相和摆动旋转引起的代偿性眼动方向相同时，皮质下视动性眼震明显增加。然而，当两个方向相反时，它受到抑制。从本实验以及作者之前研究中获得的结果可以得出结论，前庭器官对视觉功能的影响不仅具有促进作用，还具有抑制作用。
