155
Q

the purkinje axons from the cortex of the cerebrocerebellum go to what nucleus?

A

Dentate nucleus

156
Q

axons from outside the cerebellum go directly (or drop off collaterals) to where?

A

deep cerebellar nuclei

157
Q

inferior olive sends excitatory input to which central cerebellar nuclei?

A

all of them

158
Q

fibers from what nucleus exits the inferior cerebellar peduncles to terminate in the vestibular nucleus, reticular formation and nuclei for cranial nerves 3,4, and 5?

A

fastigial nucleus

this path is known as the efferent cerebellar outflow

axons from what nucleus generally extends to the red nucleus and reticular formations via the superior cerebellar peduncles?

A 
interposed nucleus
(this path is known as the efferent cerebellar outflow)
160
Q

A

dentate
