33
Q

Involved in the coordination of ongoing movement of axial musculature

  2. Sends efferent axons to fastigial nucleus which then projects to vestibular and reticular formation nuclei
A

Vermal / meridian zone of cerebellum

A

The vermal and intermediate cerebellum

Involved in the planning, sequencing and timing of learned, skilled motor movement; also plays a role in cognitive behavior (not well-understood at this point in time)
