The present study assessed the effects of lesions of cerebellar cortex on conditioned responses (CRs) using stimulation of the pontine nuclei as a conditioned stimulus (CS). Seven male New Zealand albino rabbits were implanted with stimulating electrodes in and around the dorsolateral pontine nuclei (DLPN). They were then trained to DLPN stimulation-airpuff pairings until they acquired the classically conditioned eyeblink response. Following training, the animals were given a lesion of the paramedian, ansiform, and Larsell’s HVI lobule. They were then retrained to DLPN stimulation. These animals relearned in 1–9 days. One animal with damage to the interpositus nucleus (IP) neither reacquired to DLPN stimulation nor learned to a tone conditioned stimulus (CS). Together with previous studies from our laboratory, these results suggest that the cerebellar cortex plays an important, though not essential, role in the retention of classically conditioned eyeblink responses to tone, light, lateral reticular nucleus stimulation or pontine nucleus stimulation. However, rabbits in the present study did require significantly longer to reach a stable level of performance after the lesion than they did before the lesion, suggesting that the cerebellar cortex plays a particularly important role in DLPN-stimulation conditioning.
