Abstract
Stimulation of the vestibular organs generates in a limited range stimulation-proportional activity, which is modified under influence of the central nervous system by two mechanisms: (1) inhibition, (2) pattern centre interference. Inhibition appears to be a postnatal, acquired property as is shown by a series of measurements of eye deviations in newborn dogs and infants. Pattern centre activity presumably originates during the same period preceded by development of nystagnius.Keywords
