โฆ Synopsis
Previous unpublished experiments from this laboratory had revealed only post-activation depression effects in the cerebellar cortex when its inputs were activated by high frequency trains. In the experiments reported in this paper, we found reliable long-term potentiation (LTP) effects in the deep nuclei (interpositus and vestibular) when stimulation trains were applied to the white matter at the point where inferior peduncle fibers enter the cerebellum. LTP effects were found in both acute and chronic preparations. In the chronic preparations, LTP lasted for at least 8 days in all but one animal.

The effect of high frequency stimulation (HFS) of the primary vestibular afferents on field potentials recorded in the ipsilateral Medial Vestibular Nuclei (MVN) was studied. Our results show that potentiation and depression can be induced in different portions of MVN, which are distinguishable by t
