Stimulation of the labyrinth in rabbits and guinea pigs with ascending (cathode) or
descending direct current (anode) induced deviation and nystagmus of the eyes, head turn
and tilt, and other reactions. Anodization of both labyrinths was followed by the
disappearance of reflexes, suppression of vestibular reactions to adequate stimulation, and
loss of swimming ability. The state of animals returned to normal after breaking the electric
circuit.
