Q

what are the efferent tracts of the inferior cerebellar peduncle?

A

vestibulospinal tract
fibers from the fastigial nucleus travel to join with CN VIII

22
Q

what are the afferent tracts of the middle cerebellar peduncle?

A

pontocerebellar

23
Q

what are the afferent tracts of the superior cerebellar peduncle?

A

ventral and rostral spinocerebellar

24
Q

what are the efferent tracts of the superior cerebellar peduncle?

A

dentatothalamic tract
fibers from the interposed nuclei

25
Q

why are ventral and rostral spinocerebellar tracts special?

A

they provide anatomical insurance since they are functionally very similar to the dorsocerebellar and cuneocerebellar tracts

26
Q

what are the input tracts of the spinocerebellum?

A

Dorsal and ventral spinocerebellar (LE&T)
cuneocerebellar and rostral spinocerebellar (UE)

27
Q

what is special about the rostral and ventral spinocerebellar tracts?

A

they double cross, go to the contralateral side and then back to the ipsilateral side

28
Q

what is the pathway of the dorsal spinocerebellar tract?

A

starts by following the gracile fascicle in the dorsal columns, which then ascends and synapses on Clark’s nucleus in the thoracic sc area
the tract will move more dorsolateral in the sc and ascend through the inferior cerebellar peduncle

29
Q

what is the pathway of the cuneocerebellar tract?

A

follows the cuneate fascicle and synapses on the cuneate nucleus in the medulla
ascends through the inferior cerebellar peduncle

30
Q

where does the fastigial nucleus project to?

A

the reticular formation in the reticulospinal tract and vestibular nuclei in the vestibulospinal tract
spinocerebellum output

31
Q

where does the interposed nuclei project to?

A

the red nucleus and ventrolateral nucleus of the thalamus

32
Q

where does the vestibulocerebellum get input from?

A

directly from vestibular afferents, vestibular nuclei

33
Q

what are the outputs of the vestibulocerebellum?

A

medial longitudinal fasciculus
medial vestibulospinal - coordinates neck/eye movements
lateral vestibulospinal - maintains balance

34
Q

what are the inputs of the cerebrocerebellum?

A

corticopontine fibers - pontine nuclei - pontocerebellar tract projects to the contralateral cerebellum
cortico-rubro-olivary pathway leads to the olivocerebellar tract

35
Q

what are the outputs of the cerebrocerebellum?

A

dentatothalamic fibers send signals to the ventrolateral nucleus of the thalamus
fibers to red nucleus form loop through inferior olivary nucleus

36
Q

what are the layers of the cerebellum from outside to inside?

A

molecular layer, purkinje cell, granular cell layer

37
Q

what do granular cells receive input from?

A

all pathways but the inferior olive

38
Q

what do purkinje cells receive input from?

A

contralateral inferior olive (climbing fibers) and granule cells

39
Q

where do purkinje cells project to?

A

deep nuclei

40
Q

symptoms of vestibulocerebellum lesion

A

wide gait, nystagmus

41
Q

symptoms of spinocerebellum lesion

A

ataxia, stomping gait

42
Q

symptoms of cerebrocerebellum lesion

A

intention tremor, dysdiadochokinesia
fine motor loss

43
Q

where are the oculomotor and Edinger-Westphal nuclei located?
what is the blood supply?

A

rostral midbrain at the level of the red nucleus
paramedian branches from basilar or PCA

44
Q

where is the trochlear nucleus located? what is the blood supply?

A

dorsal, caudal midbrain
nerve fibers decussate immediately in the tectum
paramedian branches or PCA

45
Q

where is the trigeminal motor nucleus located? what is the blood supply?

A

medial to principle sensory nucleus mid -pons
AICA or circumferential branches

46
Q

where is the abducens nucleus located? what is the blood supply?

A

the dorsal aspect of the caudal pons
paramedian branches

47
Q

where is the facial nucleus located? what is the blood supply?

A

ventral area of the tegmentum in the caudal pons
AICA or circumferential branches

48
Q

where is the superior salivatory nucleus located?

A

dorsomedial to the facial nucleus in mid to caudal pons

49
Q

where is the nucleus ambiguus located? what is the blood supply?

A

mid to central portion of the rostral medulla
PICA

50
Q

where is the dorsal motor nucleus of vagus located? what is the blood supply?

A

in rostral medulla, deep to vagal trigone
provides parasymp innervation for most visceral organs in thorax/abdomen
PICA

51
Q

where is the spinal accessory nucleus located? what is the blood supply?

A

in the same area as the ventral horn in the upper cervical sc
PICA or VA

52
Q

where is the hypoglossal nucleus located? what is the blood supply?

A

in rostral medulla deep to hypoglossal trigone
ASA or VA
