Using Sphaeroides spengleri (Bloch), the southern swell-fish, visual inversion of one eye was secured by 180° surgical rotation. The other eye was blinded. Visual inversion was accompanied by forced circling movements, which survived bilateral ablation of the forebrain, the cerebellum, or the inferior lobes of the infundibulum. Circling was not eliminated by bilateral labyrinthectomy and severance of the extraocular muscles, but was abolished if the eye was returned to its normal orientation, and if the optic lobe of the rotated eye was removed.
