Vestibular Efferent System:Electrophysiological Research

Open publisher page 44 citations

Abstract

Experimental researches have been performed in order to give the direct demonstration of the function of the vestibular efferent system. During electric square-wave stimulation at tetanic frequency of the vestibular efferent system both a reduction of the activity of the vestibular nerve and a modification of vestibular DC resting potentials were recorded. Stimulation with single impulses caused a discllarge at the level of the contralateral vestibular nerve.
