Neurons which receive an input from the horizontal semicircular canals were recorded from the vestibular nuclei in chronically prepared monkeys (Macaca mulatta) during optokinetic after-nystagmus (OKAN). In complete darkness the vestibular neurons showed activity changes which closely paralleled the strength of nystagmus. The activity of vestibular units returned to baseline levels of spontaneous discharge only when all after-nystagmus had ceased, or when it was inhibited by stationary visual stimuli. The possible role of vestibular neurons in the generation of OKAN and its significance in vestibulo-visual interaction is discussed.
在慢性制备的猕猴（恒河猴）的视动性眼震后效（OKAN）期间，从其前庭核记录了接受水平半规管输入的神经元。在完全黑暗中，前庭神经元的活动变化与眼震强度密切平行。只有当所有眼震后效停止，或被静止视觉刺激抑制时，前庭单位的活动才恢复到自发放电的基线水平。讨论了前庭神经元在OKAN产生中的可能作用及其在前庭-视觉相互作用中的意义。
