Abstract
Both the guinea pig and squirrel monkey were used in this study. An animal model for inner ear disease was established, and each animal was subjected to vestibular function tests consisting of spontaneous nystagmus recording, positional testing, caloric testing, and optokinetic stimulation testing. Recordings of nystagmus in the guinea pig and squirrel monkey were successfully obtained by using newly devised clip electrodes. A variety of nystagmic patterns in animal models following experimentally created perilymphatic fistula and labyrinthectomy are presented in this study. © 1991 Springer-Verlag.
