Figure 3. VOR behavior and extraocular nerve discharge of larval Xenopus in response to vertical axis rotation. A, A stage 47 larvae did not exhibit any behavioral response during angular acceleration stimulation in the vertical axis (1 Hz; ±400°/s2). B, Only by stage 49 did Xenopus larvae demonstrate a reliable aVOR during angular acceleration stimulation. C–H, Compatible with the behavior, the activity of the abducens nerve innervating the left lateral rectus in a stage 49 (F–H) but not in a stage 47 (C–E) Xenopus was modulated in response to the same stimuli. D, G, One cycle of the recordings in C and F, respectively, at an extended time scale; the average ± SD (red area) of five animals over 30 cycles is summarized in E and H, respectively. Pos, Position; Vel, velocity; Lat, lateral. Image published in: Lambert FM et al. (2008) Copyright © 2008. This image is reproduced with permission of the publisher and the copyright holder.
