Neuro Section 5- Part 2 Flashcards
What function in:
Timing and coordination of movement,
Adjusting and modulating the output of the motor cortices, corticospinal tract, brain stem motor pathways and spinal cord
Cerebellum
What doe the input axons produce for the cerebellum?
Mossy and climbing fibers (EPSP)
What type of neurons are Purkinje cells?
GABAergic
What type of PSP do Purkinje cells induce?
Inhibitory PSP
What type of receptor is GABA?
Ionotropic
What type of channel is the GABA receptor?
CI- channel
What is synthesized from glutamate by the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase?
GABA
What do high affinity transporters do with GAB once they terminate it?
Return it to the synaptic terminals for reuse

Where is the motor association cortex located in the cerebellum?
Frontal lobe
What part of the cerebellum goes to descending brainstem and corticospinal pathways?
Spinocerebellum
What part of the cerebellum goes to vestibular nuclei?
Vestibulocerebellum
What part of the cerebellum functions is proper execution of coordinated movement?
Spinocerebellum
What part of the cerebellum functions is coordinated balance and eye movement?
Vestibulocerebellum
