Summary
In the rabbit rotatory vestibular stimulation followed by optokinetic stimulation has a persisting facilitatory effect on the latter. The facilitation is independent of the direction of the second stimulus relative to the first one. It can therefore not be explained on the basis of the well-known addition effect in simultaneous stimulation. The neurophysiological and biological aspects of the phenomenon are discussed.
