title: [Compensatory processes during unilateral loss of vestibular function].
abstract: Changes in the compensation of the sequences of the unilateral loss of the labyrinthine function were studied in rabbits. Destruction of the labyrinth was accompanied by ocular nystagmus, increase of frequency of respiration and heart contractions, and EEG-activation. Investigations carried out showed these reactions to be extinguished at different time. At the late periods of labyrinthectomy a considerable asymmetry of nystagmus reaction to the angular accelerations equal in intensity, but opposite in direction was revealed. Stimulation of an intact otolith labyrinth was accompanied by the appearance of positional nystagmus. The results obtained indicated imperfection of the compensatory mechanisms during complete unilateral loss of the vestibular function.
