16
Q

what does a lesion to spinocerebellum result in if it involves the limb component

A

Ipsilateral tremor, dysmetria, movement “decompostion”, fail heel/shin test

17
Q

what does a lesion to cerebrocerebellum result in

A

movement errors, dysdiadochokinesis, initiation delays, decomposition (unable to flex on finger without other)

18
Q

what does cerebellar disease involve

A
Ataxia
Dysarthria
Movement delays
Tremors during voluntary movement and not during rest
Symptoms are ipsilateral to lesion
19
Q

what does ataxia involve for cerebellar disease

A
  • wide base stance and unsteady gait
  • trunk tremors
  • poor balance
  • Movement decomposition
20
Q

true or false

A

false, they are crossed

21
Q

true or false

input/output to/from spinal cord is crossed

A

false, they are not crossed

22
Q

what is Huntingtons disease

A

degeneration of Striatal neurons ( Caudate and Putament)

23
Q

what are the symptoms for Pakinsons disease

A

general reduction in movement, bradykinesia, difficulty initiating movements, micrographic, general reduction in movement quantity and amplitude

24
Q

what are the symptoms for Huntingtons disease

A

involuntary movements, chorea (abrupt and violent movements of limbs and face)

25
Q

what is a lesion to the sub thalamus called and what are the symptoms

A

hemiballismus

symptoms include involuntary violent movements

26
Q

what does Athetosis result in

A

slow “writihing” movements of the limbs

27
Q

Athetosis

28
Q

how can Parkinsons disease be treated

A

Administration of L-Dopa and Dopaminergic Drugs or surgery (partial pallidotomy)

29
Q

what does the output of basal ganglia regulate

A

movement initiation, movement speed, movement amplitude

30
Q

true or false

All output for Basal Ganglia is inhibitory

A

true
