A COMPARISON OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OPTOKINETIC NYSTAGMUS IN CAT AND MAN.
Abstract
Optokinetic responses from 20 cats and 20 human subjects were compared under two different experimental conditions. Data indicate that cat and man possess completely different optokinetic responses: (1) cats show a well developed secondary optokinetic response, while humans do not; (2) humans show a directional preponderance in primary optokinetic nystagmus not found in cat; (3) marked adaptation of the primary optokinetic response was also characteristic of the human subjects.
