30
Q

Inputs of Vestibulocerebellum

A

-ipsilateral vestibular nuc and visual cortex
-synapses in Flocculonodular lobe

31
Q

Outputs of Vestibulocerebellum

A

-project to vestib nuc (posture by vestibulospinal tracts, eye mmts)

32
Q

Inputs of Spinocerebellum: High Fidelity

A

-2 neurons ipsi to cerebellum to provide feedback

Posterior Spinocerebellar
-LE
-1st: propprioceptors from LE and trunk to SC FG & Clark’s Nuc
-2nd: Posterior Spinaocerebellar Pathway, ipsi into cerebellar ped. to cortex UNCROSSED

Cuneocerebellar
-UE
-1st: propprioceptors from UE and neck to SC FC and synapse to form Cuneocerebellar pathway in medulla, psi into cerebellar ped. to cortex UNCROSSED

33
Q

Inputs of Spinocerebellum: Monitoring System

A

-internal feedback, monitor spinal interneuron

Anterior Spinocerebellar Tract:
-LE
-TL grey matter, divides and most CROSS at midbrain and then CROSSES AGAIN entering sup CP

-UE
-grey of cervical SC to T1, to ipsi cerebellum through inf and sup peduncles

34
Q

Outputs of Spinocerebellum
