[The interoceptive properties of the vestibular apparatus (a systems analysis of vestibular-oculomotor interaction)].

Modern views about physiological functions of vestibular system are submitted, their contradictions are picked out. The result of development of experimental and clinical vestibulometry till last decades at the foundation of critical estimation of effectiveness of different methods of vestibular receptor's stimulation are summed up. It is proposed to consider vestibular apparatus only as structural sensory element of eye's moving functional system at the foundation of cybernetics' principles of physiological function's regularity. It is proposed to estimate vestibular function as a part of the whole afferent stream in system, which hasn't their own way at effector neurone once which determines together with proprioceptive afferentation internal system's status. Methodological principles of further research of vestibular apparatus and vestibular function are determined.
