[Vestibular responses of "fast" and "slow" Deiter's nucleus neurons].

The response of vestibulospinal neurons to the tilt in the frontal plane was studied in decerebrate cats. The neurons were identified antidromically by L1 stimulation. The response to the tilt was found to be correlated with the speed of axonal conductance: the neurons responding to the ipsilateral tilt had the latency of the antidromic response 2.8 +/- 0.7 ms, while those responding to the contralateral tilt--4.6 +/- 2.0 ms.
