Q

cerebrocerebellum (lateral hemisphere) func

A

speaks to the cortex
higher level processing
learning
goals

20
Q

descending tracts of the vestibulocerebellum

A

control extension and proximal muscles

important for postural control and balance, also coordinates eye and head movements

21
Q

descending tracts of the spinocerebellum

A

paravermal section primarily influence limb movement

22
Q

input tot he paravermal section

A

projections from motor cortex and spinal cord

23
Q

output to the paravermal section

A

via interposed n. through VL/VA to M1 and red n.

24
Q

compares commands from motor cortex with actual position and velocity of moving pars and can issue correcting signals

A

func of the paravermal section

25
descending tracts of the cerebrocerebellum
lateral hemisphere
26
input to the lateral hemisphere
via pontine n. from widespread areas of cerebral cortex
27
output to the lateral hemisphere
via dentate and VL to premotor and motor cortex
28
involved in planning and programming of voluntary, learned, skillful, movement via influencing output of motor cortex
lateral hemisphere func
29
cerebellum affects ____ limb function
ipsilateral
30
where does the cerebellum cross
crosses in contralateral cortex and again in descending tracts
31
balance disorders ataxia pt maintains full control of limbs when supine
damage of vertibulocerebellum and vermis
32
loss of eye control | difficulty with pursuit eye movments or making accurate voluntary eye movements
damage of vestibulocerebellum
33
damage to _____ of spinocerebellum disrupts accurate execution of movements
paravermis
34
reduces activity of corticospinal and rubrospinal tracts | disrupts the accuracy of reaching movements because of inceased error in timing components of movements
damage to paravermis of spinocerebellum, cerebellum
35
poor coordination joints
ataxia
36
correction of error
intention temor
37
reflex disruption
pendular reflex
38
result in errors in movement timing and delays in initiating movements - disrupted sequential movements - timing func not limited to motor events
lesions to lateral cerebellar hemispheres
39
info about how a behavior was accomplished
feedback
40
prediction about what is coming
feedforward
41
goes to ventral anterior and ventral leteral nucleus of the thalamus before heading to the cortex
output of the basal ganglia
42
goes to ventral lateral and ventral anterior nucleus of the thalamus before heading to the cortes
output of the cerebellum
43
lateral hemisphere is associated with
word association learning silent reading pegboard puzzle solving
44
2 loops of cerebrocerebellum to thalamus to premotor and primary motor areas to red nucleus to inferior olivaryn and back to cerebellum forming feedback loop
support mental rehersal of movements
45
incorporation of error related feedback into up coming movement during motor learning
paravermis (medial hemisphere
46
important in acquiring and processing sensory info for tasks requiring complex spatial and temporal judgments
dentate
47
after cerebellar stroke, individuals cannot
adapt performance according to environment
