1 Cerebellum The anatomy of the cerebellum and its gross divisions Its principal input and output pathways The organization of the cerebellar cortex Role of climbing vs. mossy fibre input The parallel-fibre/ cell model of learning Roles of the cerebellum in motor control Oct-10 RCM - BMedSci Neuro III 2 of 36 Cortico-cerebellar loop Inputs: Sensory motor cortex, assocation (PPC), spinal, vestibular, everything but primary sensory, Outputs: to all areas it receives from, via thalamus (to cortex) and red n. (to spine) Cerebellum Premotor, Sensory motor Post. Parietal Oct-10 RCM - BMedSci Neuro III 3 of 36 Cerebellum: little brain Cerebellum Massive cortical area, but much simpler than neo-cortex Exerts influence on movement via influence motor and pre-motor cortex Also connects with reticular formation and spinal cord Adds coordination, fine control, skill to basic movement patterns A powerful learning machine Oct-10 RCM - BMedSci Neuro III 4 of 36 Oct-10 RCM - BMedSci Neuro III 5 of 36
