Name the 3 cell layers of Cerebellar cortex from top to bottom:
|
1. Molecular
2. Purkinje 3. Granular |
|
|
Which cells have their cell bodies in the Molecular level?
|
Stellate Cells and Basket Cells
|
|
|
Which cells have their cell bodies in the Granular level?
|
Granular Cells and Golgi II Cells
|
|
|
The axons of which cell run parallel to the folia in the Molecular level?
(parallel fibres) |
Granule Cells
|
|
|
Parallel fibres excite the dendrites of which cell type?
|
Purkinje cells
|
|
|
Name the 2 afferent inputs to the Cerebellum:
|
Mossy Fibres and Climbing Fibres
|
|
|
Where do Climbing Fibres originate and what is their target?
|
1. From the Inferior Olivary Nucleus
2. They wrap around the cell bodies and dendrites of Purkinje Cells |
|
|
Where do Mossy Fibres originate and what is their target?
|
1. From nuclei in the brain stem and spinal cord
2. They terminate on Granule Cells |
|
|
What kind of information do Mossy Fibres transmit?
|
Peripheral Sensory information and Cerebral cortex information
|
|
|
What kind of information do Climbing Fibres transmit?
|
Somatosensory and Visual information along with Cerebral cortex information
|
|
|
What does the Cerebellum do?
|
It does not initiate motor commands but it regulates them.
|
|
|
Which cell type projects out of the Cerebellum?
|
Purkinje cells project to deep Cerebellar Nuclei which then project outwards.
