Abstract
Clicks evoke a complex wave form pattern in the anterior lobe of the cerebellum. The early portion of the wave is stable and precedes the response in the auditory cortex. The later portion is labile, follows the response in the auditory cortex, and is suppressed by light anesthesia and by either cooling or destroying the temporal cortex. These results strongly support Snider''s hypothesis of a dual sensory projection system to the cerebellum. Electrical stimulation of the anterior lobe of the cerebellum diminishes the myoclonic response to clicks or tone pips in cats anesthetized with chloralose. In cats immobilized with Syncurine, electrical stimulation greatly depresses the activity evoked by the pips in the midbrain tegmentum, but not the action potential of the VIIIth nerve nor the evoked response in the medullary pyramids.
