Neurological symptoms following cerebellar stroke can range from motor to cognitive-affective impairments. Topographic imaging studies from patients with lesions confined to the cerebellum have shown evidence linking anterior cerebellar lobules with motor function and posterior lobules with cognitive function. Damage to the cerebellum can disrupt functional connectivity in cerebellar stroke patients, as it is highly interconnected with forebrain motor and cognitive areas. The hippocampus plays a key role in memory acquisition, a cognitive domain that is negatively impacted by posterior cerebellar stroke, and there is increasing evidence that the cerebellum can affect hippocampal function in health and disease. To study these topographical dissociations, we developed a mouse photo-thrombosis model to produce unilateral strokes in anterior (lobules III-V) or posterior (lobules VI-VIII) cerebellar cortex to examine hippocampal plasticity and behavior. Histological and MRI data demonstrate reproducible injury that is confined to the targeted lobules. We then measured hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) ex-vivo with extracellular field recording experiments in acute brain slices obtained from mice 7 days post-cerebellar stroke. Interestingly, we found that a unilateral posterior stroke resulted in a contralateral hippocampal impairment, matching the cerebellothalamic pathway trajectory, while LTP was intact in both hippocampi of mice with anterior strokes. We also assessed motor coordination and memory function at 7 days post-stroke using a balance beam, contextual and delay fear conditioning (CFC and DFC), and novel object recognition (NOR) tasks. Mice with anterior strokes showed lack of coordination evaluated as an increased number of missteps, while mice with posterior strokes did not. Mice with anterior or posterior cerebellar strokes demonstrated similar freezing behavior to shams in CFC and DFC, while only posterior stroke mice displayed a reduced discrimination index in the NOR task. These data suggest that a unilateral LTP impairment observed in mice with posterior strokes produces a mild memory impairment. Our results demonstrate that our model recapitulates aspects of clinical lesion-symptom mapping, with anterior cerebellar strokes producing impaired motor coordination and posterior cerebellar strokes producing an object-recognition memory impairment. Further studies are warranted to interrogate other motor and cognitive-affective behaviors and brain region specific alterations following focal cerebellar stroke. The novel model presented herein will allow for future preclinical translational studies to improve neurological deficits after cerebellar stroke.
