Cerebellar evoked potentials resulting from extraocular muscle stretch: Evidence against a cerebellar origin

The source of cerebellar evoked potentials synchronized with stretch of the extraocular muscle was investigated in the cat. Short latency on and off evoked responses were recorded from the surface of the vermian cortex (Larsell's Lobules V b, c; VI; and VII) and the brain stem. Evoked potential...

Summary:The source of cerebellar evoked potentials synchronized with stretch of the extraocular muscle was investigated in the cat. Short latency on and off evoked responses were recorded from the surface of the vermian cortex (Larsell's Lobules V b, c; VI; and VII) and the brain stem. Evoked potentials of equal amplitude and latency were recorded from the cerebellar surface after the cerebellar peduncles had been completely severed. Thus, it is concluded that the cerebellar surface voked potential correlated with extraocular muscle stretch does not originate in the cerebellum.
