A

afferent - vestibular nerve to vestibular nucleus and cerebellar vermis, vestibular nucleus to cerebellar vermis via mossy fibers
efferent - cerebellar vermis to fastigial nucleus and vestibular nucleus, vestibular nucleus down spinal cord in vestibulospinal tract (extensor muscles), fastigial nucleus to reticular nuclei and down spinal cord in reticulospinal tract (possture and muscle tone)

Q

spinocerebellar module

A

afferent - lower limb and trunk proprioceptor neurons synapse and travel up spinal cord in dorsal spinocerebellar tract to restiform body to cerebellar cortex via mossy fibers // upper limb proprioceptor neurons travel up cuneocerebellar tract and synapse in accesory cuneate nucleus and continue up to restiform body to cerebellar cortex via mossy fibers //intermediate zone and spinal border cells decussate and travel up spinal cord in ventral spinocerebellar tract to superior cerebellar peduncle to cerebellar cortex via mossy fibers // posterior thoracic nucleus of Clarke go up some and decussate and continue to cerbral cortex
efferent - vermal cortex sends neurons to fastigial nucleus which send neurons to ventrolateral nuclues of thalamus to trunk area of motor cortex AND fastigial nucleus sends neurons to reticular nuclei and vestibular nucleus and fastigiospinal fibers to anterior horn // intermediate cortex sends neurons to interposed nuclei which send neurons to the ventrolateral nucleus of thalamus to trunk and limb areas of motor cortex AND interposed nucleus sends fibers to red nucleus then to anterior horn

Q

pontocerebellar module

A

afferent - corticopontine fibers synapse on pontine nucleus and send fibers to dentate nucleus and lateral cortex via mossy fibers, red nucleus sends signals to inferior olivary nucleus to inferior cerebral peduncle to dentate nuclei and to lateral cortex via climbing fibers
efferent - lateral cortex sends fibers to dentate nucleus which goes through decussation of sup cerebellar peduncles to the inferior olivary nucleus, red nucleus, pontine nuclei, and ventrolateral nucleus of thalamus to cerebral cortex
