Predatory attack, grooming, and consummatory behaviors evoked by electrical stimulation of cat cerebellar nuclei. 1973

D J Reis, and N Doba, and M A Nathan

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

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
