The effect of diazepam (Valium) on vestibular compensation was studied in the cat. Twelve hemilabyrinthectomized cats were given diazepam (0.4 mg/kg/day — physiological dose; 1.6 mg/kg/day — toxic dose) chronically during the compensation period. Thirteen additional hemilabyrinthectomized animals were used as controls. The neural activity of the medial vestibular nucleus was monitored as well as the observations made on nystagmus and postural co‐ordination. The results indicate that diazepam does not delay vestibular compensation in the cat.
