[Physiologic reactions to electric stimulation of the labyrinth].
Physiological responses to electric stimulation of the skin projections of labyrinths on the outer ear were investigated. The experiments were carried out on 56 test subjects using electric current in the range of 20 microA to 1.5 mA with the frequency 0.2-0.5 Hz. Thresholds for the emergence of autonomic, somatomotor and sensory manifestations were detected. It was found that autonomic reactions may develop independently of somatomotor responses. It is postulated that autonomic, motor and sensory reactions to electric stimulation of labyrinths constitute a combined response which is of afferent vestibular and skin origin.
