Summary

Comparatively little work has been done on the relationship of the cerebral hemispheres and cerebral cortex to the cerebellar nuclei, and we have contributed to this study. After extirpation of various portions of the cerebral cortex, or of one of the cerebral hemispheres, microscopic examination of cerebellar sections demonstrated a disturbance in the cerebellar nuclei occuring at various times. There was a loss of nerve cells from the dentate nucleus on the side opposite the extirpated cortex or extirpated hemisphere.

Loss of nerve cells from the emboliform nucleus occurred only when the whole of one cerebral hemisphere had been removed, and again the change was on the contralateral side. These results indicate an indirect connection between the cerebral cortex and the dentate and emboliform nuclei
