1 The Cerebellum P.T Ji Jun Cheol Rehabilitation Center 1 HansarangAsan Hospital. Outline Overview Structure (external & internal) Micro-circuitry of the cerebellum Cerebellum and motor learning 2 1

2 Cerebellum Overview Little brain (Latin) 10% total volume of the brain (1.8 M long) But more than 50% neurons of the entire brain Control fine movement coordination, balance and muscle tone 3 Cerebellum Overview This sensory structure influences the motor systems by evaluating disparities between intention and action and by adjusting the operation of motor centers in the brainstem and cortex while a movement is in progress. Adjusts the operation of motor centers in the cortex and the brain stem while a movement is in progress. Damage to the cerebellum disrupts the spatial accuracy and temporal coordination of movement 4 2

3 Cerebellum Overview Basic circuit: Mossy, Parallel & climbing fibers etc.. Main descending system : Pontine & vestibulospinal system Corticospinal & rubrospinal system Cerebellar modification of movements: Extension vs flexion in stance and swing Vestibulo-ocular reflex Conditioned eye-blink response Cerebral cortical learning 5 Structure (external) The cerebellum is located dorsal to the brainstem, caudal to the occipital lobe of the cerebrum. 6 3

19 Micro-circuitry of the cerebellum Long Term Depression Model suggested by Marr and Albus (1970s) The climbing fiber weakens the parallel fiber Purkinje cell synapse in a process called long-term depression (LTD). (Masao Ito, 1980s) pf active no LTD pf & cf both active repeatedly LTD (associative plasticity) The climbing fiber compares what is intended with what has happened and provides an error signal that would depress the parallel fibers that are active concurrently and allow correct movement to occur. 37 Cerebellum and motor learning in gait Cortex : vermis Nucleus : fastigial Medial cerebellar system modulates ventromedial systems for extension of multiple proximal joints Cortex : flocculus nodule(of vermis) Nucleus : vestibular Medial cerebellar systems 38 19
