Cerebellum Flashcards
Anterior Lobe
Locomotion
Posterior Lobe
fine motor control, coordination, speech, sensory processing, cognition, motor memory
Vermis
locomotion, gross movement, trunk/postural contorl
Middle cerebellar pedunclee
carries fibers between pons and cerebellum
Flocculus + Nodulus =
Vestibulocerebellum/ Archicerebellum
Anterior Lobe + Vermis
Spino cerebellum/paleocerebellum
Posterior Lobe + Vermis
Pontocerebellum/neocerebellum
Archicerebellum Fxn
balance and equilibrium reactions; projects to the vestibular and fastigial nuclei
Spinocerebellum Fxn
involved in locomotion and more gross motor function; projects to the fastigial and interpositus nuclei
Pontocerebellum Fxn
Involved in higher motor functions, cognition, sensory processing; projects mainly to dentate nucleus
Dentate Nuclei
Projects to contralateral thalamus
