-ipsilateral vestibular nuc and visual cortex
-synapses in Flocculonodular lobe

31
Q

Outputs of Vestibulocerebellum

32
Q

Inputs of Spinocerebellum: High Fidelity

A

-2 neurons ipsi to cerebellum to provide feedback

Posterior Spinocerebellar

-1st: propprioceptors from LE and trunk to SC FG & Clark’s Nuc
-2nd: Posterior Spinaocerebellar Pathway, ipsi into cerebellar ped. to cortex UNCROSSED

Cuneocerebellar
-UE

33
Q

A

-internal feedback, monitor spinal interneuron
