The effects of cerebellar hemispherectomy in the young rat. I. Behavioral sequelae.
The effects of unilateral cerebellar hemispherectomy in rats operated on the 5th, 10th and 30th days were investigated. Their locomotor behaviour was studied longitudinally until the age of 360 days. Locomotion remained impaired to a variable extent in all experimental groups. Rats operated on the 30th day showed fewer deviations in locomotion than rats operated on the 5th or 10th day.
