Cerebellar Modifications of Abnormal Discharges in Cerebral Sensory and Motor Areas

  • Chapter
The Cerebellum, Epilepsy, and Behavior

Abstract

Thirty years have passed since Snider and Stowell’s (1942, 1944) descriptions of the cerebellar sensory areas. The significance of these observations is not yet known; however, they introduced me to a new cerebellar physiology. No longer were functions limited to reflex motor activity. New questions could be asked and new experiments proposed. To cite an early one: What relationships, if any, existed between these areas and the cerebrum?
