Stimulation Of Cerebellum Brings Unusual Reactions'
A number of unusual reactions may be observed when the cerebellum of an animal is stimulated electrically or mechanically, said Dr. Sam L. Clark, chairman of the department of anatomy at Vanderbilt University, in the 21st annual Noble P. Sherwood Lecture Tuesday night.
"The electrical stimulation of the cerebellum produces the strange phenomenon of a seizure which moves through the animal at a constant rate of speed," Dr. Clark said. "The seizure sometimes recurs at definite intervals for as long as 15 minutes," he added.

Dr. Clark presented slides and a short movie showing the actual effects of various cerebellar stimuli in experiments with cats. Stimulating
certain areas resulted in movement of the cat's head to one side. When the stimulus was removed the cat's head moved in the opposite direction.
Seizure Follows Stimulus
About a minute after the stimulus was removed a seizure ran through the cat affecting the legs and tail. The movie showed the effects of the stimulus as long as six minutes after the first response.
"A very strong stimulus may result in an epileptic seizure, Dr. Clark said. "After the epileptic seizure slower seizures such as those, resulting from a slighter stimulus, often last for as long as 15 minutes," he added.
Dr. Clark also showed a slide of an electrode which he helped develop to stimulate and measure reactions of the cerebellum. He said the electrode can be placed
in the animal's skull and remain there for several months without interfering with the animal's normal living pattern.
Ways in which the size and shape of the cerebellum of different animals are related to the ease and intricacy of the animal's movements were also pointed out by Dr. Clark.
