Study Notes
Cerebellum Functions
- The flocculonodular lobe is involved in equilibrium.
- The intermediate zone of the cerebellum controls muscle tone and posture.
- The anterior lobe and the anterior part of the posterior lobe are connected to the spinal cord.
- The lateral hemisphere is involved in planning and programming movement.
Cerebellar Structure
- The lateral hemispheres are formed by the most lateral parts of the cerebellar hemispheres.
- Mossy fibers form a synapse with the Purkinje cells in the cerebellar glomerulus.
- Purkinje cells have dendrites that fan out in the molecular layer of the cerebellar cortex.
- Mossy fibers have axons that synapse with several Purkinje cells in the cerebellar glomerulus.
- Granule cells have dendrites that extend to the molecular layer of the cerebellar cortex.
- Parallel fibers have axons that divide into two branches in the molecular layer, parallel to the long axis of the folium.
