[Nystagmus after unilateral destruction of the superior colliculus in rabbits].
The frequency, the amplitude of optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) the reverse postoptokinetic nystagmus (RPN) were studied in rabbits before and during the first 7 days after left-side lesions of the superior colliculi. The lesions led to a more obvious decrease in the frequency and amplitude of the OKN than in those of the RPN. The retino-colliculi pathway seems to be of greater importance for the OKN formation than for the RPN mechanism.
