Flash induced nystagmus (FIN) in the rabbit: input-output relations. 1984

W I Verhagen, and P L Huygen, and G P Horsten

Flash-induced nystagmus (FIN) was elicited by monocular flicker-stimulation at 20-40 Hz. It was found more often in albino than in pigmented rabbits. Slow phase velocity (SPV) showed a gradual increase, then a steady-state level in most animals and an after-response after cessation of stimulation. incremental and decremental phase mainly showed an exponential change in SPV. Apparent time constants were in the range of 5-40 sec. Simultaneous recording of both eyes revealed greater velocity and amplitude of both phases of FIN in the stimulated eye. FIN can be specified as a type of nystagmus that is evoked by monocular essentially open-loop stimulation of the crossed ("subcortical") visual pathway. Direction-selective elements in the retina may play a specific role and their predominant orientation gives rise to nystagmus in adducting direction in the flicker-stimulated eye as if it were exposed to optokinetic stimulation in the temporonasal direction.

D009760 Nystagmus, Physiologic Involuntary rhythmical movements of the eyes in the normal person. These can be naturally occurring as in end-position (end-point, end-stage, or deviational) nystagmus or induced by the optokinetic drum (NYSTAGMUS, OPTOKINETIC), caloric test, or a rotating chair.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D002746 Chlorpromazine The prototypical phenothiazine antipsychotic drug. Like the other drugs in this class chlorpromazine's antipsychotic actions are thought to be due to long-term adaptation by the brain to blocking DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. Chlorpromazine has several other actions and therapeutic uses, including as an antiemetic and in the treatment of intractable hiccup.

D004329 Droperidol A butyrophenone with general properties similar to those of HALOPERIDOL. It is used in conjunction with an opioid analgesic such as FENTANYL to maintain the patient in a calm state of neuroleptanalgesia with indifference to surroundings but still able to cooperate with the surgeon. It is also used as a premedicant, as an antiemetic, and for the control of agitation in acute psychoses.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
