Lecture 10 - Cerebellum - Quiz 1/2 Flashcards
T/F - The cerebellum participates in adaptive control in the motor system
True
T/F - The cerebellum participates in the evaluation of differences between intention and action within the motor system
True
T/F - The cerebellum participates in motor learning
True
T/F - Lateral cerebellar lesions affect sequential rather than coordinated movement
True
T/F - Neurons in the dentate nucleus may fire approximately 100ms before movement
True
T/F - The lateral cerebellar cortex receives input from the premotor cortex and projects through the dentate nucleus and thalamus back to the premotor cortex
True
What are some examples of disorders of the cerebellum?
Hypotonia, ataxia, intentional tremor, face/mouth problems if the vermis is affected
