Our hypothesis was that lesioning the red nucleus would show deficits like those seen in lesions of the cerebellum revealing that this pathway is crucial in visuo-spatial processing. Lesions of the red nucleus on four rats were tested against five controlled sham conditioned rats. We found that these lesions had some effect on the spatial navigations of the rats however the lesions were not found to be significant across training days...

We found that these lesions had some effect on the spatial navigations of the rats however the lesions were not found to be significant across training days. Our results imply that the red nucleus is involved in spatial navigation processes however there must be other pathways at work that allow for visuo-spatial information to be relayed...
