Task 3 Flashcards
superior cerebeallr peduncle
Deep cerebellar nuclei dorsal thalamus pre-motor & primary motor areas
Deep cerebellar nuclei superior colliculus
effernt
middle cerebelalr nuclei
Afferent (contralateral)
Most areas of the cortex & superior colliculus cell bodies in pontine nuclei of pons transverse pontine fibres cross over via middle cerebellar peduncles cerebellar cortex & deep nuclei
Inferior cerebellar peduncle/ restiform body
Smallest but most complex
Afferent: from vestibular nuclei, spinal cord, tegmentum (stay ipsilateral)
Efferent: to vestibular nuclei & reticular formation
learning
wekaens inhibitory loop
when occmolotor saccades—> lesion
lesion in spinocerebellar …. eliminate ability to reduce motor error
cerebellar inhibition
cerebellum modulates primary motor cortex, signals to m1 can be inhibited by cerebellum
wich one leads to impaired inhibition
afferent pathway or efferent pathway ataxia
efferent
disruption of state estimate of human lateral cerebellum
findings
Creebelalr TMS incresed final error
TMs effect is exposex by dynamic state change
tms causes initIAL AIMIMNG ERROR
DIRECTION SPECIFIC effect => not pointing right
Suggest that these results demonstrate that the cerebellum is responsible for estimating the hand position over this time interval and the TMS disrupts this state estimate.
ataxia
people can slect right movements & RIGHT SEQUENCES but lack coordiantion
forward models gazzanigga
The cerebellum, as opposed to other brain areas, is not only important for prediction but also for sensorimotor learning (generated predictions that are temporally precise): we don’t only need to know what Is coming, but also when it is coming. This timing is provided by the cerebellum.
tickleshness findings
The cerebellum differentiates between movements depending on their specific sensory consequences in order to predict specific sensory consequences of movements and provide a signal to attenuate movement
increased activity in the secondary somatosensory cortex (SII) and the anterior cingulate gyrus (ACG) when subjects experienced an externally produced tactile stimulus relative to the self-produced stimulus
