The effect of atrazine oral administration on cerebellar forelimb projection area was studied in rats in vivo. Rats acutely treated with atrazine (100 mg kg-1, BW) showed a significant decrease in spontaneous Purkinje cell firing rate. Atrazine also decreased the cerebellar potentials evoked by electrical stimulation of the ipsilateral radial nerve, affecting mostly the response to climbing fiber input. These results demonstrate that atrazine exerts a toxic action on central nervous system. The effects on the cerebellar somatosensory cortex could be responsible for motor disorders frequently observed in animals intoxicated with atrazine.
