Abstract
Electrical stimulation of rat hypothalamus influenced the activity of the vestibular nuclei units, depending on the stimulus location. Vestibular units were excited predominantly by antero-lateral hypothalamic stimulation, whilst middle-medial hypothalamic stimulation mainly induced a decrease in the firing frequency of vestibular units. The possibility of both types of hypothalamic influence on vestibular excitability is discussed.
