how many layer re there in the cerebellar circuitry

A

3

44

45
Q

what layer in the cerebellar circuity is deep to superficial

A

deepest is granule layer and most superficial is molecular

46
Q

what type of fibres crosses a purkinje cell

deep cerebellar nuclei

49
Q

what is the ratio of input for purkinje cells

A

40:1 input to output

50
Q

what is the function of purkinje cells

A

release a NT called GABA, which inhibits neurons and reduces transmission of nerve impulses - they control/ coordinate and regulate movement —– inhibit

51
Q

what are mossy fibres

A

primary neurons that carry information into cerebellum
can activate granule cells and cerebellum nuclei

52
Q

granule cells attach to what type of fibre

A

parallel fibres

53
Q

after the granule cell and parallel fibres attach, what occurs

A

they synapse with dendrites of Purkinje cells

54
Q

what occurs when the Purkinje fibres are activated

A

inhibit cerebellar nuclei which modulates motor output

55
Q

the climbing fibre does what

A

excites the Purkinje cells directly
(can sense signals to elicit learning)

56
Q

the eye blink response is an example of what

A

cerebellum sensorimotor learning

58
Q

cerebellum receives inputs from where

A

the brainstem and spinal cord

59
Q

cerebellum outputs go where

A

thalamus and brainstem

60
Q

climbing fibre activation leads to what

A

learning by changing Purkinje cell response to mossy fibre input
