Abstract
Hemilabyrinthectomized cats were allowed to compensate for the postoperative spontaneous nystagmus and directional preponderance of post-rotatory nystagmus. Following alcohol injection, spontaneous nystagmus reappeared toward the intact side, positional nystagmus was unidirectional, and postrotatory nystagmus was profoundly more depressed than for normals. Normal cats subjected to repeated accelerations showed less habituation of post-rotatory nystagmus with alcohol than without.Keywords
