By resecting each nerve of the otolithic organs the influence to the change of nystagmus jerks by caloric stimulation was observed. The results were as follows:
1. When the utricule stimulated by cold water, the number of nystagmus to the same side was increased. This phenomenon is suggesting tinythe utricular macula is pressed when cold stimulation was applied. On the contrary, the number of nystagmus to the opposite side was increased by hot stimulation.
2. When the saccule stimulated by cold water, the number of nystagmus to the opposite side was increased. Namely it suggests the saccular macula is pressed when the cold stimulation was applied. When the hot stimulation is applied the phenomenon is contrary.
In conclusion, the otolithic organs take part in the appearance of nystagmus by caloric stimueations.
