Horizontal Eye Position-related Activity in Neck Muscles of the Alert Cat
TL;DR: Electromyographic activity of obliquus capitis cranialis and caudalis, and longissimus capitis, is closely related to horizontal eye position in the orbit both during spontaneous eye movements and vestibular nystagmus.

Low threshold calcium spikes in medial vestibular nuclei neurones in vitro: a role in the generation of the vestibular nystagmus quick phase in vivo?
TL;DR: A subpopulation of neurones in this nucleus was found to have burst firing properties and it is speculated that this property could be implicated in the generation of the quick phase of the vestibular nystagmus in the behaving guinea-pig.

The Orientation of the Cervical Vertebral Column in Unrestrained Awake Animals (Part 1 of 2)
TL;DR: A stereotyped resting posture of the head-neck arrangement in a number of vertebrates is demonstrated: the cervical vertebral column is oriented vertically to form one portion of the partia.

Intratympanic gentamicin injections for Meniere disease: Vestibular hair cell impairment and regeneration
TL;DR: The authors treated 22 patients with intratympanic gentamicin and Vestibular function was measured using caloric and head impulse tests and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials induced by high amplitude sounds and short duration galvanic currents.

TL;DR: The response of floppy subjects appeared to be maladaptive and likely to increase the risk of whiplash injury during motor vehicle accidents, and the adoption by the central nervous system of an extrinsic, ‘allocentric’ frame of reference instead of an intrinsic, “egocentric” one may be instrumental for the selection of the stiff strategy.
