TLDR
The characteristics of the dynamic response of specifically canal‐dependent neural units in cat vestibular nuclei have been examined during sinusoidal rotation of the head in decerebrate cats over the narrow frequency range 0·–1·7 Hz.Abstract:
: It has been shown that the mechanical response of a semicircular canal to rotational stimulation is such that within a limited range of stimulus conditions the angular displacement of endolymph in the canal circuit is directly related to the angular velocity of rotation. The present study examines the dynamic response of neurones in the vestibular nuclei of cats exposed to sinusoidal rotational stimulation over a range of frequencies (0.25-1.7 Hz), presumed to lie within the domain of angular velocity transduction by the end-organ hydrodynamics.read more

TL;DR: The torsion-pendulum model helps clarify the dynamics of the peripheral vestibular apparatus and the procedures employed to estimate the time constants have had their drawbacks.

Jay M. Goldberg,César Fernández +1 more
TL;DR: It may be concluded that neurons innervating the semicircular canals of mammals do vary from one another in their discharge characteristics, and these differences should be reflected in the physiology of mammalian vestibular afferents.

TL;DR: The cupula-endolymph system has to be considered as a heavily damped torsion pendulum, which has a differential equation with solutions available in every handbook on mechanics and which ought to predict any conduct of the cupula found in practice.

TL;DR: Measurements of the internal radius (r) and radius of curvature (R) of the endolymphatic canal were made in 87 species, comprising 46 mammals, 17 birds, 17 fishes and 7 reptiles, using specimens, and photographic records of specimens, already available.

TL;DR: The electrical activity of the vestibular nerve has been studied by Ross, who recorded impulses in single fibres in the frog and was able to distinguish the discharges due to the various parts of the labyrinth, but hitherto the Mammalia Vestibular organs have not been investigated in this way.
