[The righting reaction in the free fall of rats after a flight on the Kosmos-936 biosatellite]
Abstract:
The free fall turning over reaction has been studied in the weightless and centrifuged rats flown on board Cosmos 936. There occur particular changes of the reaction in the weightless rats after landing and its complete absence in eyes-closed centrifuged rats. The possible mechanisms responsible for the observed alterations are discussed.
