    Notes: Summary The locomotor behaviour of adult cats blinded soon after birth was compared to that of control cats by measuring running time in a maze. The effects of vibrissae deprivation in trained blind and control cats and of visual deprivation in control cats was studied. The performance of the control cats decreased in darkness to the level reached by the blind cats. Deprivation of vibrissae affected the performance of the control cats only in darkness and had no effect on the blind cats. The role played by various sensory systems in locomotion during development and in adulthood is discussed.

    Development of the air righting reflex in cats visually deprived since birth (1984)

    Notes: Summary Classical experiments on the ability of cats to turn in the air during a free fall, the air righting reflex, have shown that vestibular and visual cues can play a role in this behavior. The development of this air righting reflex in kittens blinded since birth has been studied. The results show that the development in the blinded kittens is the same as in normal kittens with vision: mature by 33 days. This result and the comparison with other studies confirm that the air righting reflex is primarily a vestibular controlled reaction.
