Study Notes
Cerebellum Function
- The cerebellum dynamically regulates the nuclei during walking.
- If the feedforward mechanism is lost due to damage in the cerebellum, it can lead to motor coordination deficits.
Cerebellar Cortex
- Mossy fibers form synapses with granule cells, and Golgi cells inhibit granule cells.
- Climbing fibers form synapses with Purkinje cells, which are inhibited by basket cells and stellate cells.
Mossy Fibers
- Mossy fibers transmit sensory information from sensory organs to the cerebellum.
- They form synapses with granule cells, which then send parallel fibers to Purkinje cells.
Purkinje Cells
- Purkinje cells integrate information from parallel fibers and climbing fibers to regulate motor activities.
- They are inhibited by basket cells and stellate cells.
Climbing Fibers
- Climbing fibers transmit error signals from sensory organs to Purkinje cells.
- They strengthen or weaken parallel fiber synapses, leading to long-term depression (LTD) or potentiation (LTP).
Deep Cerebellar Nuclei
- The deep cerebellar nuclei are the main output pathway of the cerebellum.
- They transmit motor Outputs to the cerebral cortex, spinal cord, and brainstem.
Cerebellum's Role in Motor Activities
- The cerebellum integrates sensory information, motor commands, and error signals to regulate motor activities.
- It plays a crucial role in motor learning, coordination, and control.
Cerebellum's Relation with Other Brain Regions
- The cerebellum is deeply integrated with the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, and brainstem.
- It receives sensory inputs from the vestibular system, spinal cord, and corticopontocerebellar pathway.
Clinical Manifestations of Cerebellar Damage
- Damage to the cerebellum can lead to ataxia, dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesis, and nystagmus.
- The cerebellum is essential for maintaining posture, balance, and motor coordination.
