Abstract: | Summary The influence of the efferent vestibular system being eliminated, the spontaneous activity of single afferent fibres of the ampullary nerves of the horizontal and vertical anterior semicircular canals was recorded in the frog. By stimulating electrically the nerves of the vertical posterior canal, lagena or saccule as well as by sectioning these nerves and then using statistical methods, it is shown that the receptor-receptor fibres arising from the above mentioned receptors have generally an inhibitory influence on the afferent activity from the horizontal and vertical anterior canals. |
