The functions of the cerebellum form one of the most obscure and disputed questions in cerebral physiology. The cerebellum is excluded from the sphere of mind proper, meaning by that the domain of conscious activity. Experimental research clearly points to the cerebellum as forming an essential part of the central mechanisms by which external impressions are immediately co-ordinated with certain responsive actions, and furnishes no evidence in support of the existence of any form of spontaneous or self-determined activity, characteristic of animals possessing their cerebral hemispheres. In this chapter, the author reviews numerous experiments, including those by Flourens, Hughlings-Jackson, Nothnagel, Fritsch and Hitzing, Carville and Duret, and Bourdon-Sanderson.
