Cerebellum Flashcards
Involved in the coordination of ongoing movements and postural control
Involved in learning the timing and rhythm of movements and synchronization of movements, and in learning to correct motor areas
Cerebellum
Separates the cerebellum from the occipital lobe
Tentorium Cerebelli
Integrates proprioceptive information, activity levels of neurons in the spinal cord and motor commands to coordinate trunk and gross limb movements
Gross movements of the limbs
Spinocerebellum (Vermis and Paravermal Regions)
Coordinates precise, distal voluntary movements
Fine, distal, voluntary movements
Cerebrocerebellum (Lateral Hemispheres)
Integrates visual and vestibular input to coordinate motor activities for posture, head, and eye movements
Equilibrium
Vestibulocerebellum (Flocculus and Nodulus)
Describes the uncoordinated, normal-strength, jerky, and inaccurate movements that are not due to hypertonia or contracture
Ataxia
