Abstract
Cerebellar modification of hypertonus was first demonstrated in 1897, when Loewenthal and Horsley 9 and Sherrington 12 independently reported that decerebrate rigidity could be relaxed by stimulation of the anterior lobe of the cerebellum.
This project was supported by grants from “Krista og Viggo Petersens Fond” and “Frantz Hoffmanns Mindelegat”.
