Comparison of dynamic properties of canal-evoked vestibulospinal reflexes of the neck and forelimb in the decerebrate cat

N Hirai et al. Exp Brain Res. .

Abstract

The responses of neck and forelimb muscles to sinusoidal polarization of the horizontal canal nerve were compared by recording from these muscles simultaneously. Contrary to results on the vestibulocollic reflex, the central phase lag in the vestibulo-forelimb reflex increases with increasing frequencies up to 3 Hz. This demonstrates a difference in the organization of vestibular-driven pathways to neck and forelimb muscles.
