Abstract
Responses of 35 Purkinje cells in decerebrate cats were recorded during 0.5 Hz rotations in 4-11 vertical planes and the horizontal plane to determine their semicircular canal input. Most neurons received convergent input from two canals (21 neurons) or 3 canals (5 neurons). Few Purkinje cells were maximally sensitive to rotations about an axis appropriate to their inferior olivary input as determined by Gerrits and Voogd [15,24,27,49].
