Abstract:

The monograph gives information on the quantitative characteristics and reactivity of the vestibular analyzer and describes the nature of the functional connection between the intensity of vestibular reactions and the values of various parameters of the adequate stimulus force, duration for the nonauditory portion of the labyrinth. A special section contains data on the nature of the organisms reactions, adaptation peculiarities and change in the sensitivity and reactivity of the vestibular analyzer during a prolonged up to 15 days periodically occurring effect of the Coriolis forces. Analyzed is the symptom complex of motion sickness occurring after a man spends a certain time in a rotating room. The essence of this study, in addition to the overall physiological value, lies in the prospect of creating artificial gravitation on board spacecrafts. Examined are materials on the effect of a series of other factors of environment and, primarily, the ionizing radiation on the vestibular analyzer. Author
