Damage to medial cerebellum- Sx
- Lack of axial musculature
- Gait abn
- Ocular dysmetria (can’t fix gaze)
- Dysarthria- slurred/ slowed speech
Damage to lateral cerebellum- Sx
- Incoordination of limbs
Parkinson brain lesion location
- Substantia nigra nucleus
- Pars compact nucleus
Parkinson sx
Hypokinesis
- Cant make voluntary mvmts
- Inhibited/ dulled emotions
- Slowed thinking
- Domamine as neurotransmitter
Huntington lesion location
Caudate and putamen nuclei
Huntington- Sx
- Hyperkinesis
- Move when don’t want to
- Volatile emotions
- Difficulty organizing, focusing
Basal ganglia- Mvmt
- Suppression of unwanted critical activity- inhibitory neurons- Indirect
- Facilitate cortical activity (voluntary mvmt)- direct-
Cerebellum- Mvmt
- Receives feedback from skeletal muscle
- Midcourse corrections
Dermatome
- Area of skin supplied by single spinal nerve
- Symptoms indicate pathology at nerve root
Medial lemniscus
- Lesions impair vibratory and touch pressure sense
- Decussates in medulla
Dorsal column
- White matter in spinal cord
- Gracile and cunate fasiculus
- Fine touch and proprioception
- Cross over at medulla
Gracile fasciulus
- Lower body sensory impulses
- Fine touch and proprioception
Cunate fasiculus
- Upper body sensations
- Fine touch and proprioception
