Cerebellum part 2 Flashcards
medial longitudinal fasiculus (MLF)
vestibular nucleus sends axons thru MLF to CN III, IV, VI
nuclei
axons sent thru MLF to CN III, IV, VI

Vestibulocerebellar System
mooth pursuit
allows the eyes to follow a moving stimulus (maintains the stimulus on the fovea)
needs the cerebllum
smooth pursuit
Cortical eye fields –>vest nuclei–> Cb –> vestibular nucleus –> CN III, IV, VI nuclei via the MLF
Cortical eye fields –> pontine nuclei –> Cb –> vestibular nucleus –> CN III, IV, VI nuclei via the MLF
The cerebellum compares the—– ——with the intended movement and ——– the required corrections to maintain —— and proper eye position .
The cerebellum compares the vestibular input with the intended movement and “computes” the required corrections to maintain equilibrium and proper eye position .
Generalized loss of equilibrium
Lesion of the Vestibulocerebellum
Impaired ability to coordinating eye movements with head movements
Lesion of the Vestibulocerebellum
Altered output along medial vestibulospinal tract – Altered output along MLF
Lesion of the Vestibulocerebellum
Carries proprioceptive information trunk & LEs (T1 and below)
tPosterior Spinocerebellar Tract
tCuneocerebellar Tract
Carries proprioceptive information neck & UEs (rostral to T1)
Anterior Spinocerebellar Tract
proprioceptive information and cutaneous information
from receptors with large receptive fields from LEs
Carries proprioceptive information from the oral cavity
Trigeminocerebellar Tract
Propriceptive afferents travel in dorsal column
of Posterior Spinocerebellar Tract and travel to
Clarke’ s Column T1 - L2
Axons travel superiorly within the
posterior spinocerebellar tract
Posterior spinocerebellar tract travels thru
Inferior cerebellar peduncle
tf Posterior Spinocerebellar Tract only travel to vermis
F vermis and paravermis
TF Cuneocerebellar Tract
Axons travel in the dorsal column (fasciculus cuneatus) to med/ internal/ accessory cuneate nucleus
Cuneocerebellar Tract
Axons travel in the dorsal column (fasciculus cuneatus) to Lateral/ external/ accessory cuneate nucleus
TF Cuneocerebellar Tract uses Clarke’s Column T1 - L2
