Cats reared in stroboscopic illumination (strobe reared cats) have been found to have abnormal eye movements. Visual and vestibular evoked compensatory eye movements were inefficient. Vestibulo-ocular reflex in the dark had a maximum gain of 0.6 (1.0 in normal animals). Optokinetic nystagmus had a mean gain which approached unity only at stimulus velocities around 7 degrees/S (up to 30 degrees/S in normal animals). The asymmetry of the optokinetic nystagmus resulting from monocular stimulation was more pronounced in strobe reared cat than in normal animals. Interaction between vestibulo-ocular reflex and optokinetic nystagmus to give adequate compensatory eye movements was absent in strobe reared cats: visual suppression of vestibulo-ocular reflex was absent when the animal was rotated in an illuminated environment which remained stationary with respect to the head. Optokinetic nystagmus failed to improve the gain of the vestibulo-ocular reflex when the animal was rotated in a normally lit environment. The deprived animals showed no signs of recovery after 5 months exposure to normal lighting.
在频闪照明环境下饲养的猫（频闪饲养猫）被发现存在异常的眼球运动。视觉和前庭诱发的代偿性眼球运动效率低下。黑暗中的前庭眼反射最大增益为0.6（正常动物为1.0）。视动性眼震的平均增益仅在刺激速度约为7度/秒时接近1（正常动物可达30度/秒）。单眼刺激引起的视动性眼震不对称在频闪饲养猫中比正常动物更明显。频闪饲养猫不存在前庭眼反射和视动性眼震之间的相互作用以产生足够的代偿性眼球运动：当动物在相对于头部保持静止的光照环境中旋转时，不存在视觉对前庭眼反射的抑制。当动物在正常光照环境中旋转时，视动性眼震未能提高前庭眼反射的增益。这些剥夺动物在暴露于正常光照5个月后没有恢复的迹象。
