Abstract

Responses of 112 neurons of the lateral and medial vestibular nuclei to adequate stimulation of mechanoreceptors of the stomach and intestine were recorded extracellularly in cats anesthetized with a chloralose-pentobarbital mixture. Depending on the response (of tonic type) to stimulation, three groups of neurons were distinguished: those responding by an increased firing rate (37), those responding by inhibition (26), and those not responding at all (49).
