Abstract
Unilateral labyrinthectomy has often been performed to analyze the structure and function of the vestibular system by neuroanatomical and physiological methods. Anatomical investigations by means of axon degeneration techniques indicate the location of synapses in the vestibular-spinal and vestibular-ocular reflex arcs. Behavioral methods may be used to determine the formation and maturation of bilateral interactions.
