N2 - Objectives: The contributions of each of the vertical semicircular canals (SCCs) and otoliths to the short-latency vestibular evoked potentials in response to angular acceleration impulses were studied in the cat. Design: The experiments were conducted on unilateral labyrinthectomized cats. Vestibular activation was achieved by delivering angular acceleration impulses to the animal's head, held in the position presumed to be optimal for maximal stimulation of either the anterior or the posterior SCCs before and after obliteration of the SCC studied, and before and after obliteration of the other SCCs and ablation of the maculae. Interventions: Unilateral labyrinthectomy, obliteration of the SCCs, and ablation of the otoliths and section of the commissural vestibular fibers in the brain stem with histologic confirmation were carried out in the experiments Objectives: The contributions of each of the vertical semicircular canals (SCCs) and otoliths to the short-latency vestibular evoked potentials in response to angular acceleration impulses were studied in the cat.
