Abstract:
In an experiment with alert rabbits the inspired gas mixture was altered to obtain hypoxia. A significant reduction from the normal nystagmus reaction was observed. This reduction in the amplitude (about 50%) is immediately reversible by giving oxygen. These experiments were repeated with each animal several times, the results being reproductible. There is a significant decrease in nystagmus amplitude through the influence of hypoxia.
