Incorporation of radioactive 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) into the cerebellum of mice which were resting in a cage or stepping on a treadmill was examined by means of autoradiography. In the cerebellum of the mouse resting in the cage, a large amount of 2-DG was incorporated into the posterior vermis, the flocculus, cerebellar nuclei and vestibular nuclei. On the other hand, during stepping, incorporation of 2-DG was increased remarkably in the anterior vermis, the pyramis, the anterior part of the ansiform lobule and the paraflcculus, indicating that these regions are functionally involved in locomotor movements.
