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.
