neuro 6 - cerebellum Flashcards
cerebellum is involved in
- maintenance of equilibrium
- posture and muscle tone
- coordination and movement
- hearing
- facial sensations
cerebellar cognitive affective syndrme
deficits in executive function, spatial cognition, language, and affect
layers of the cerebellum
outer - molecular layer
intermediate - purkinje layer
inner - granular layer
outer layer of the internal cerebellum
molecular layer
intermediate layer of the cerebellum
perkinje layer
inner layer of the cerebellum
granular layer
fastigial nuclei
muscle tone, posture, balance, vestibulo/reticulospinal pathway
globose nuclei
muscle tne and posture via red nucleus in rubrspinal
dentate nuclei
muscular coordination
emboliform
muscle tne and posture via red nucleus in rubrospinal
order of cerebellar nuclei left to right
dentate
emboliform
glbose
fastigial
globose and emboliform
have two pathways
- a direct prjection to the red nucleus and then to the effector limb
- an indirect pathway via thalamocortical projections to modify the action of the effectpr limb
