The relation between the otolithic function and caloric-induced nystagmus was investigated. In the present study the author gave linear acceleration to human labyrinths by using the parallel-swing apparatus of which cycle was 1/3 cps and the amplitude is 60cm. The effect of linear acceleration on the nystagmus induced by caloric stimulus was observed in the electronystagmographic recording.<BR>The following conclusions were obtained:<BR>a) The caloric-induced nystagmus observed in normal subjects were influenced by the parallel-swing stimulation.<BR>b) Ten seconds after the end of the caloric-induced nystagmus, the parallel-swing stimulation is begun. In this trial the author observed the secondary phase nystagmus in 38% of normal subjects.<BR>c) The response caused by caloric stimulus is generally regarded as that of the function of semicircular canals, but it is probable that the otolithic function is concerned with caloric responses.
