Horizontal and vertical OKN and OKAN were recorded in four conditions using the EOG technique. Instructions to subjects were aimed at obtaining a "look" type OKN. Two optokinetic stimulators, a stationary sphere and a binocular portable model, were compared with the subject in the upright condition.
Single neurons were recorded in the vestibular nuclei of monkeys trained to suppress nystagmus by visual fixation during vestibular or optokinetic stimulation. During optokinetic nystagmus vestibular nuclei neurons exhibit frequency changes. With the suppression of optokinetic nystagmus this neurona
1. Parameters of the optokinetic after-nystagmus (OKAN) outlasting optokinetic stimulation were studied in monkeys. With constant pattern velocity (60 degrees/s) exposure times were varied between 2 s and 15 min. 2. All monkeys showed a primary after-nystagmus moving in the same direction (OKAN I) a
Eleven squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) were trained to discriminate species-specific calls from non-species-specific complex sounds in a go, no-go procedure with social contact as positive reinforcement. The task required that the animals not only responded to a particular call but that this res
