A. Lourie. On the movement of the eyeballs during irritation of the cerebellum. Berlin. Neurologisches Centralblatt. 1908. No. 3

The author reports the results of experiments carried out on animals (dogs) at the Physiological Institute of the Royal Higher Veterinary School in Berlin. Even earlier, he had the opportunity to carry out work of a similar kind on the stimulation of the cerebellum and analyze the phenomena observed in this case. Both from previous experiments and from the present, he formed a certain conviction that in the cerebellum there are absolutely no centers for the movement of the eyes and muscles of the face, as Ferrier claims. All those who worked on the subject and in this area, except for Munk, like Renzi, Lewandowsky, Pruse, and especially Ferrier, found that when different parts of the cerebellum were stimulated in different animals, different movements of the eyes, and sometimes also of other parts of the body, such as ears, were obtained. , wings of the nose. From the side of the eyes, nystagmus, eye rotation, pupil dilation, exophthalmus were observed. The experiments were carried out by the author with a wide opening of the posterior part of the cranium in order to make the entire surface of the cerebellum accessible as far as possible.
