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

Neurons which receive an input from the horizontal semicircular canals were recorded from the vestibular nuclei in chronically prepared monkeys (Macaca mulatta) during optokinetic after-nystagmus (OKAN). In complete darkness the vestibular neurons showed activity changes which closely paralleled the
Recordings from neurons of the vestibular nuclei were performed in alert monkeys. Type I and type II units were identified by rotating the monkey about a vertical axis. Al neurons responded also when only the visual surround was rotated around the stationary monkey. The combination of visual and ves
In alert Rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) neuronal activity of vestibular nuclei was recorded during pure vestibular and conflicting visual-vestibular stimulation. Pure vestibular stimulation consisted of rotating the monkey about the vertical axis in complete darkness. During conflicting visual-vest
