A

PICAs and SCA

23
Q

Which artery supplies the tonsils?

A

PICAs

24
Q

Which artery supplies the anterior lobe?

A

SCA

25
Q

Which arteries supply the vermis

A

PICAs (inferior) and SCA (superior)

26
Q

Which arteries supply the deep cerebellar nuclei

A

Mostly SCA with help from AICAs

27
Q

Lesions to the cerebellum result in

A

Truncal instability or IPSILATERAL limb deficits

28
Q

What are the 4 deep nuclei from lateral to medial? (don’t eat greasy food)

A

1) Dentate 2) Emboliform 3)Globose 4)Fastigial

29
Q

Which cerebellar region and nucleus are responsible for truncal movements

A

Vermis + fastigial nucleus

30
Q

Which region (spinocerebellum) is associated with truncal movements

A

Anterior lobe; efferents via globose and emboliform nuclie

31
Q

How many time does motor-coordination (limb adjustment) information cross the midline?

A

Twice; 1 from cerebellum to motor cortex, one at decussation of pyramids

32
Q

Which cerebellar functional system is involved in the learning of new skills?

A

Neocerebellum/Cerebrocerebellum

33
Q

Which 4 spinal tracts provide information to the cerebellum?

A

1) Posterior spinocerebellar (lower limb), 2) Cuneocerebellar (upper limb); 3) anterior spinocerebellar (lower limb); 4) rostral spinocerebellar (upperlimb)

34
Q

Which spinocerebellar tract involves Clarke’s nucleus?

A

Posterior

35
Q

What levels of the SC does Clarke’s nucleus extend over?

A

L3 to C8 – fibres below L3 travel in the fasciculus gracilis until they reach L3 and synapse in Clarke’s nucleus

36
Q

Where do posterior spinocerebellar fibres enter the ICP?

A

Rostral medulla

37
Q

Where do fibres in the posterior spinocerebellar tract cross the midline?

A

They don’t! Info to cerebellum remains IPSI always

38
Q

Which fibre types send afferents to Clarke’s nucleus?

A

Ia, Ib, and II (GTO) fibres

39
Q

Which types of information travel in the fasciculus cuneatus until the rostral medulla

A

Sensory AND proprioceptive information (cuneocerebellar tract does not branch off until reaching the accessory cuneate nucleus)

40
Q

Where do cuneocerebellar fibres originate

A

Accessory cuneate nucleus (rostral medulla)

41
Q

Where do cuneocerebellar fibres enter the cerebellum

A

ICP

42
Q

Which spinocerebellar tracts involve SBCs?

A

1) anterior spinocerebellar tract; 2) rostral spinocerebellar tract

43
Q

Where is the first synapse in the anterior spinocerebellar tract?

A

SBCs in the anterolateral border of the SC white matter

44
Q

How many times does the anterior spinocerebellar tract cross the midline

A

Twice

45
Q

How do fibres from anterior spinocerebellar tract enter the cerebellum

A

Via the SCP

46
Q

Where is the first synapse for the rostral spinocerebellar tract?

A

SBCs in anterolateral white matter of anterior horn (also receive descending inputs)

47
Q

Where do rostral spinocerebellar fibres cross the midline?

A

They do not! Only the anterior spinocerebellar tract does

48
Q

Proprioceptive and cutaneous information above T8 travels in which tract to the cerebellum

A

Rostral spinocerebllar

49
Q

Proprioceptive and cutaneous information below T8 travels in which tract to the cerebellum

A

Anterior spinocerebellar

50
Q

Where do rostral spinocerebellar tract fibres enter the cerebellum

A

SCP
