Abstract
A newly devised animal box with which caloric tests can be easily performed in the awake cat is presented. This device is useful for position and optokinetic tests. Visual suppression of caloric nystagmus was investigated in such vertebrates as monkeys, cats and rabbits. There was a definite species difference in the rate of visual suppression of caloric nystagmus. The difference among species may be due to a difference in fixation function among animal species.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
