Abstract
WE have investigated the properties of neurones in the lateral vestibular nucleus, and the relation between this nucleus and the spinal cord. All experiments have therefore been conducted in animals with the cerebellum removed, ensuring that any changes in the activity of vestibular neurones as a result of stimulation of peripheral nerves are not brought about by pathways involving the cerebellum.
