Study Notes
Cerebellum Connections and Structure
- The cerebellum connects with other centers in the CNS through three pairs of tracts called the cerebellar peduncles, which attach it to the brainstem.
- The outer gray matter of the cerebellum is called the cerebellar cortex.
Cerebellar Folds and Nuclei
- The cerebellum has an extensively folded part, which increases its surface area.
- The deep cerebellar nuclei are located internally.
Cerebellar Lobes
- The anterior lobe of the cerebellum is located at the front.
- The posterior lobe of the cerebellum is located at the back and is anatomically classified as posterior.
Functions of the Cerebellum
- The deep cerebellar nuclei play a crucial role in the integration of sensory, motor, and cognitive information.
- The main objective of studying the physiology of the cerebellum is to understand its role in motor coordination, learning, and memory.
