Effect of kainic acid lesions of the cerebellar interpositus nucleus on eyelid conditioning in the rabbit

Author(s): Lavond DG, Hembree TL, Thompson RF

Abstract

It has been shown previously that unilateral electrolytic lesions of the cerebellar dentate-interpositus nuclei selectively abolish or prevent a classically conditioned nictitating membrane/eyelid response in rabbits but do not prevent retention or learning on the contralateral side. The present study demonstrates that kainic acid lesions of the dorsal interpositus nucleus are sufficient for this effect.
