Cerebellum

Question 1

Name the deep nuclei of the cerebellum from lateral to medial

Answer 1

• Dentate
• Emboliform
• Globose
• Fastigial
  Don’t eat greasy food

Question 2

What do lateral lesions of the cerebellum affect?

Answer 2

• Voluntary movements of extremities (lateral structures)
• Propensity to fall towards ipsilateral side

Question 3

What are symptoms of medial lesions to the cerebellum?

Answer 3

• Truncal ataxia (wide-based cerebellar gait)
• Nystagmus
• Head tilting
• Bilateral motor deficits affecting axial and proximal limb musculature

Question 4

Wht ventricle is situated near the thalamus?

Answer 4

3rd

Question 5

What ventricle is situated beside the pons and cerebellum?

Answer 5

4th

Question 6

What connects the cerebellum to the midbrain, pons and medulla?

Answer 6

Cerebellular peduncles

Question 7

Proprioceptive information from the spinal cord enters the cerebellum via what peduncle?

Answer 7

Inferior

Question 8

What does the output from the cerebellum travel via from the cerebellar cortex?

Answer 8

Output generated via cerebellar cortex via Purkinje fibres
-> Deep nuclei -> Superior cerebellar peduncle -> thalamus -> Contralateral cortex

Question 9

What peduncle contains cerebellar output (from deep nuclei to contralateral cortex)

Answer 9

Superior

Question 10

Information from the contralateral cortex travels to the cerebellum via what peduncle?

Answer 10

Middle

Question 11

Inner ear information (from vestibular nuclei) travels to what lobe of the cerebellum?

Answer 11

Flucculonodular lobe
