Thermoregulatory and Vestibular Systems in the RatResponses in six rats to auditory and vestibular stimuli were compared at two temperatures. It was observed that the peaks in the BAER recorded at a brain temperature of approximately 34 degrees centigrade occur later in time than the peaks from the 37 degree waveforms. In addition, the later peaks of the BAER recorded at the low temperature were more delayed than the earlier peaks, indicating that the interpeak latency increases as brain temperature is decreased. Responses to angular acceleration also show that later peaks in the evoked waveforms are associated with increases in interpeak latencies with decreasing temperature.
