Electronystagmographic recordings of guinea pig animal models in experimental otology.
The vestibular function test in the guinea pig consists of spontaneous nystagmus recording, positional test and caloric test. If clip electrodes are used, recording of nystagmus in the guinea pig is successful. It takes less than 30 min to complete the whole test, and the animal tolerates the procedure without any complication.
