[Vestibular Responses of neurons of the anterior suprasylvian region of the cat cortex and their interaction with responses to acoustic stimulation and stimulation of the facial nerve].

Neuronal responses to stimulation of the vestibular, acoustic and facial nerves were studied in the cat anterior suprasylvian gyrus cortex under chloralose (70 m/kg). The vestibular projection field was found to be adjacent to and partly overlapped with the acoustic and facial projections. The focus of maximum vestibular-evoked activity was located rostrally to the anterior suprasylvian gyrus and was clearly distinct from that evoked by acoustic auditory and facial stimuli. In the focus of maximal activity of the vestibular projection the vestibular afferent input was predominant.
