Ipsilateral cerebellar lesions prevent learning of the classically conditioned nictitating membrane/eyelid response

Abstract Unilateral lesions of the cerebellum in the rabbit prior to any training completely prevented learning of the classically conditioned eyelid and nictitating membrane responses of the eye ipsilateral to the lesion. In marked contrast, subsequent training of the eye contralateral to the lesion yields normal learning.
