[Influence of the saccule in vestibular tilting reaction in frogs (Rana occipitalis)].
In blinded frogs we have cut the saccular nerve on both sides. This results in decreasing the amplitude of the tilting reactions (which are elicited by stimulation of the utriculi). The saccular facilitation of tilting reactions is more or less great according to the frogs.
