FUNCTIONS OF THE CEREBELLUM

and (2) after producing artificial nystagmus. The artificial nystagmus is 

 produced by spinning the patient two or three times, and consists of con- 

 stant lateral movements of the eyeballs, quick in the direction in which the 

 artificial movement took place, and slow in the opposite direction. 



In a normal subject, previous to spinning the index test shows no devia- 

 tion, but after the production of artificial nystagmus a deviation is noted 

 in the direction corresponding to the slow jerk of the nystagmus (reaction

 a patient without nystagmus sometimes causes a spontaneous deviation in 

 the segment of the body corresponding to the position of the lesion on the 

 cerebellar cortex, but more frequently, if it is applied after the production
