inputs only
what are the inputs of the middle cerebellar peduncle?
from cerebral cortex about planned movement
what are the inputs of the inferior cerebellar peduncle? what sense?
from vestibular apparatus and SC mainly…about proprioception
what are the outputs of the superior cerebellar peduncle? where do they mainly go?
corrections to motor plan…to thalamus
are connections of the cerebellum contra or ipsilateral?
ipsilateral
where do outputs of the cerebellum always arise from?
purkinje cells in the deep cerebellar nuclei
