Input fr stretch and GTO via spinocerebellar t
Muscle tone reg
Anterior lobe
Input fr neocortex via corticopontocerebellar f
Coordinate voluntary motor activity
Posterior cerebell
Neocerebellum
Input fr vestibular sys
Posture and balance
Flocculonodular lobe
Connec cerebellum to caudal medulla, rostral pons
Inf cerebell peduncle
Largest cerebell pedunc
Cerebell to pons
Pontocerebellar fibers
Mid cerebell peduncs
Connec caudal pons, rostral midbrain
Major output of cerebell
Superior cerebell pedunc
Neurons that convey only output fr cerebell cortex
Purkinje cells
Mc hereditary ataxia
AR inheritance
Posterior columns, corticospinal t, spinoc cerebell, dentate nuc
Same as SCD in alcoholism
Freidreich ataxia
AD
Loss of purkinje cells, neurons of inferior olivary, pontine nuclei
Demyelination of posterior columns and spinocerebellar t
