Left or right unilateral removal of a cerebellar hemisphere altered visuo-motor coordination as well as spatial representation of the environment. Moreover, the operated rats were unable to adapt their behavior to a novel situation, suggesting frontal dysfunctions similar to those demonstrated in human cerebellar syndromes.
