Electrical stimulation at single sites in the rostral fastigial nucleus elicits hypertension, grooming, feeding, and attack behaviors cat. The stimulus intensity availability of suitable goal objects determines behavior. Bilateral lesions area fail to produce motor deficits. may be a cerebellar for behavioral autonomic regulation.
