Abstract:
:The aim of this study was to determine whether vestibular information related to head acceleration is available for triggering postural responses to perturbations of stance in the freely-standing cat. Linear accelerations of the head were recorded during postural responses evoked by linear translations of the support surface. A consistent initial peak of acceleration was observed at an average latency of 22 ms and magnitude of 0.03 g (g is acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s/s). The acceleration peak preceded the first evoked EMG activity by an average of 24 ms. It was concluded that stimulation of the vestibular apparatus was both adequate and early enough for the vestibular system to have triggered the automatic postural response.
