Vestibular nuclei lesions disrupt orthostatic responses in cats; hypothesis-generating for autonomic control and should not inform practice.
Do chemical lesions of the vestibular nuclei alter blood pressure and heart rate responses to orthostatic challenges in conscious cats?
Chemical lesions of the vestibular nuclei in cats result in persistent but gradually resolving cardiovascular deficits during orthostatic challenges, suggesting plastic changes in the vestibular nuclei mediate recovery.
Mori et al. (2004) studied this question.
