Staggerer mutant mice, which lose Purkinje and granule cells in the cerebellum, were found to explore for a longer period of time than normal mice a novel object placed in a familiar environment. There was no difference between the two groups in terms of general motor activity. These results are discussed in regard to a role for the cerebellum in behavioral inhibition and emotion.
蹒跚突变小鼠的小脑浦肯野细胞和颗粒细胞会缺失，研究发现，将一个新物体放置在熟悉的环境中时，与正常小鼠相比，这种小鼠探索该物体的时间更长。两组在一般运动活动方面没有差异。本文就小脑在行为抑制和情绪方面的作用对这些结果进行了讨论。
