Neocerebellar Syndrome Quiz

The cerebellum's role in coordinating movement and maintaining balance.

The inability to control the range and accuracy of movement; characterized by an inaccurate trajectory.

Impairment of the cerebellum's function resulting in uneven and inaccurate movements.

A highly malignant brain tumor common in children, typically between the ages of 4-8.

A common cerebellar disorder caused by a variety of factors including disease, tumors and cardiovascular problems.

Tremor that occurs as a movement is about to be performed or while being performed, but not while the body is at rest.

Lowered muscle tone.

Loss or weakening of strength.

Loss of motor control, characterized by uncoordinated movements.

Ataxia originating from sensory issues in the body.

Using observations from seeing (eyes open) and without (eyes shut) motor movements to differentiate sensory and cerebellar problems respectively.

A hypokinetic disorder characterized by tremor, rigidity, akinesia, and postural instability.

A group of subcortical structures that play a critical role in motor control, and other cognitive functions.

Part of the basal ganglia, composed of the caudate nucleus and putamen, receiving input from the cerebral cortex.

A common symptom of Parkinson's Disease, involving rhythmic shaking.

Part of the basal ganglia, with internal and external segments that participate in motor control.

Muscle stiffness in Parkinson's, often described as cogwheel or lead pipe.

Midbrain structure in basal ganglia pathway that produces dopamine.

A type of rigidity with a jerky, stop-and-go quality.

Part of the basal ganglia, part of indirect pathway and involved in motor circuits.

A type of rigidity with consistent and smooth stiffness.

Group of movement disorders characterized by excessive, involuntary movements.

Difficulty initiating movement.

A neurodegenerative disease characterized by tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia.

Slowness of movement.

A hereditary and progressive neurological disorder, characterized by chorea and dementia.

Sudden inability to move in Parkinson's.

Involves involuntary, rapid, irregular, jerky movements, primarily in the upper extremities.

Loss of balance and impaired postural reflexes.

Medication used to replace dopamine, helping balance dopamine and acetylcholine in the brain.

Involuntary rhythmic movements of a joint.

Fluctuations in Parkinson's symptoms, with periods of mobility and immobility.

Sustained involuntary contractions of muscles causing abnormal posturing or twisting movements.

Surgical procedure using electrodes to stimulate areas of the brain to improve Parkinson's symptoms.

Slow, involuntary, writhing, or twisting movements, often in the distal extremities.

Large-amplitude, sudden, and violent movements of an arm and leg on one side of the body.

A subjective measure used to assess the impact of Parkinson's on daily life.

Abrupt, repetitive movements or vocalizations.

Part of the brain involved in motor coordination and error correction.

Outer layer of the cerebellum.

Inner structures of the cerebellum.

Process of improving movement skills by modifying neuronal pathways.

The ability of the cerebellum to change and adapt.
