Responses to pure visual stimuli and visual-vestibular interactions similar to those reported in other vertebrates were found in single vestibular nucleus neurons in cat. Contrary to prevailing hypotheses, the cerebellum is not an essential part of the pathway mediating these visual responses.

Periodontal mechanosensitive units (PM units) were recorded from the trigeminal main sensory nucleus (Vms) of the cat. The receptive fields of PM units were arranged from mandibular to maxillary divisions dorso-ventrally. The majority of PM units were single tooth units responsive to the canine toot
Response properties of neurons in the visual cortex, area 17, of Long Evans pigmented rats were investigated quantitatively with computer-controlled stimuli. Ninety percent of the cells recorded (296/327) were responsive to visual stimulation. The majority (95%, 281/296) responded to moving images a
