ABSTRACT
Prior experiments demonstrated that the acceleration deviating 15 degrees to the right (left) from the longitudinal body axis could not produce vertical eye movement in left (right) eye of the goldfish. From these results, we expected that vertical eye movement of goldfish for the acceleration perpendicular to the longitudinal body axis might different between right and left eye. However, in this experiments, there were no clear difference in magnitude of vertical eye movements for the acceleration shifted 15 degrees around the left-right body axis. On the other hand, the response of right eye was larger than that of left eye for the acceleration applied from left to right of the body. These results suggest that stimulation from medial to lateral and lateral to medial of the otolith organ has different effect on vertical eye movement in each eye of goldfish.
