New experimental data on cat's optokinetic response. Is there need to revise previous models of the optokinetic reflex?

Abstract

New data on cat's optokinetic reflex (OKR) available in the literature have been interpreted by using a nonlinear model of OKR previously proposed by the authors. A general agreement between experimental data and theoretical predictions was obtained, and some features of the former could be explained as consequences of the intrinsic nnonlinearity of OKR. In contrast with recent statements appeared in the literature, it was concluded that the new data seem to confirm, rather than disprove, the previous model of cat's OKR.

Physiology considers resources that study the regulation of biological functions at the level of the whole organism. This includes research from biochemical, cell biological and whole system studies of human and animal physiology. Comparative physiology, biological rhythms, and physiological measurement are also included. Resources emphasizing cellular regulation, or the physiology of specific organs are excluded and are covered in the Cell & Developmental Biology and Medical Research: Organs & Systems categories.
