False! its gets cortical information from the pontine nuclei

From contralateral side

Through the inf cerebellar peduncle
Does the pontine nucleus come from the contralateral side or ipsilateral side?
contralateral side
Does the Cerebral cortex come from the contralateral or ipsilateral side?
Contralateral, but indirectly via the pontine nucleus
How many times does the ventral spinal tract cross? What side does it come from?
it crosses twice and comes from the ipsilateral side
What are the 4 deep cerebellar nuclei?
"fat girl eats donuts"
Fastigium
Globus
Embiliform
Dentate
T/F Granular cells are the only cells in the cerebellum that are excitory.
False, its true if it says cerebellar cortex
Which of the two will be excited more? the Deep cerebellar nuclei or mossy fibers?
Deep cerebellar nuclei
Which cerebellar neurons will have efferent outputs from cerebellar cortex?
Purkinje cells
T or F: ALL cerebellar cortical neurons are inhibitory EXCEPT granule cells.
True
Which fibers excite granule cells?
Mossy fibers
After the fibers reach the granular layer, where do they go?
The molecular layer
What are the two outputs from the cerebellum?
The deep cerebellar nuclei (mostly + and very minor -)

And Pukinji cells (INHIBITORY OUTPUT)
T/F The only cells that send information out from the cells is the purkinji cells?
FALSE
When information goes from the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord, what gets the information first?
CEREBELLUM
What layer are the purkinji fibers located?
Molecular layer
What happens as mossy fibers receive information? 2 things
1) gives the info to the deep cerebellar nuclei

2) Sends info out as positive output

*so + in + out
What happens after the deep cerebellar nuclei have the information?
info goes furthur out to the granular cells that go to the parallel fibers that then go to the dendrites of the purkinji cells and go out--> it is inhibitory output
What starts and intitiates your movement? ex)gas pedal
Deep cerebellar nuclei
What stops your movement? ex) brake pedal
Purkinji cells

* they are the inhibitory neurons that come out and control movement
What is a resting tremor?
Parkinsons
• Granule cells will send excitatory info to the outer layer of the cerebellum through axons called
Parallel fibers
What two things control movement?
Deep cerebellar nuclei and purkinji cells
What is the definition of ataxia?
lack of coordination
T/F Ataxia is always with a cerebellar lesion?
False, it could be not knowing proprioception
What is sensory axatia?
Lack of sufficient sensory input to the cerebellum, thus preventing the cerebellum from controlling your motor output (dealing with coordination)
What are the 3 layers of the cerebellum?
Granular, purkinji, and moleucular
What are the 3 major sensory information that go to the cerebellum?
Vision, vestibular, spinal cord & trigeminal nucleus (oralis and interpolaris)
Where does the vision info go to?
vermis (because it is a midline part of the body)
Where does the vestibular system send info to?
flocculonodular lobe
What is sensory ataxia?
Lack of sufficient sensory input to the cerebellum, thus preventing the cerebellum from controlling your motor output (dealing with coordination)
Is ataxia always a cerebellar lesion?
NO, it could be not knowing proprioception
What are the 3 proprioceptions?
Vestibular, vision, spinal cord and trigeminal
To get to the cerebellum from the cortex, you must go through what?
The pontine nuclei

(cortico-ponto-cerebellar tract)
What are the only neurons in the cerebellar cortex?
Granular cells
Where cells do parallel fibers come from?
Granular cells
T/F The parallel fibers excite the purkinje cells
TRUE
T/F The purkinje cells inhibit the deep cerebellar nuclei
TRUe
What will you have a problem with if you have a lesion in the deep cerebellar nuclei?
problems with initiation( more) and movement
What will you have a problem with if you have a lesion in the cerebellar cortex?
movement and termination (more)
What are the names of the deep cerebellar nuclei?
Fat Girls Eat Donuts

Fastigium
