Abstract
The influence of cholinomimetics and cholinolytics on vestibular compensation was investigated in Rana temporaria. In compensated animals cholinomimetics induced a complete decompensation with reappearance of all symptoms characteristic of the precompensated state. Cholinolytic exerted antagonistic effects. They induced postural and locomotor symptoms which were a mirror-image of those observed in the precompensated state. The findings support the assumption that the compensatory reorganization of the vestibular system involves the modification of cholinergic brain stem synapses.Entities:
