Observations Upon The Nervous Mechanism of Vestibular Habituation

Pages 310-318 | Published online: 08 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Rotational tests carried out upon a number of ballet dancers have shown their nystagmic threshold responses to angular acceleration to be normal when determined in darkness, but considerably raised in the presence of optic fixation. These results indicate that optic fixation plays an important role in vestibular habituation in man and this, in turn, calls for some reassessment of current views on its nervous mechanism.
