2 The Cerebellum Cerebellum evolved and developed with the complication of animal movement.

3 Key points about cerebellum Location & gross appearance Internal structure of cerebellum Three pairs cerebellar pudencles Fiber connection of cerebellum Function of the cerebellum

4 Function of the cerebellum Archicerebellum - Maintain equilibrium Paleocerebellum Regulate skeletal muscle tone: Neocerebellum - Coordinate skilled voluntary & programmed movement. Aquatic animal: such as: fish archicerebellum only Reptiles: archicerebellum and paleocerebellum Higher animal: archicerebellum,paleocerebellun and neocerebellum

5 Telencephalon Diencephalon Cerebellum Brain stem Midbrain Pons Division of the brain Medulla ablongata

12 Gross appearance of cerebellum Superior view Anterior notch Primary fissure Posterior notch Anterior lobe Primary fissure Ant.lobe Posterior lobe Vermis Hemisphere Post.lobe Hemisphere Superior view of the cerebellum

13 Gross appearance of cerebellum Posterolateral fissure Nodule Floccular peduncle Flocculus Uvula of vermis Pyramid of vermis Tuber of vermis Cerebellar tonsil Flocculonodular lobe include:flocculus;floccular peduncla and nodule. In the conditions of severe raised intracranial pressure,the tonsil of cerebellum may be displaced down through foramen magnum and form hernia, conpress the life centers (respiratory & cardiovascular center) in medulla and result in death.

14 Lobes of Cerebellum Two deep fissures 4 2 Primary fissure- 4 Posterolateral fissure Three lobs Flocculonodular lobe-1 Flocculus and nodule Anterior lobe Uvula & pyramid of vermis Posterior lobe 3 Locate between primary fissure 3 3 & posterolateral fissure

15 Lobes of Cerebellum by evolution Flocculonodular lobe - archicerebellum Ant. lobe paleocerebellum plus Uvula & pyramid of vermis, Post.lobe neocerebellum Locate between primary fissure & posterolateral fissure,plus tuber of vermis

16 Lobes of Cerebellum by fiber relation Flocculonodular lobe Vestibulocerebrum Mainly receive the fibers from vestibular nerve and vestibular nuclei Ant. lobe Spinocerebellum Mainly receive the fibers from spinal cord Post.lobe Cerebrocerebellum Mainly receive the fibers from cerebrum

24 Connections and Function of Cerebellum Archicerebellum (Vestibulocerebellum ) Connections Afferents: receive fibers from vestibular nuclei and the axonal terminal from the ipsilateral vestibular ganglion. Efferents: projects to the vestibular nucleus vestibulospinal tract and medial longitudinal fasciculus motor neurons of anterior horn of spinal cord. Function: involved in eye movements and maintain balance of the body

27 Connections and Function of Cerebellum Paleocerebellum (spinocerebellum) Fiber connection Afferent fibers: receive somatic sensory information via spinocerebellar tracts Efferents fibers: Projects to the fastigial and interposed nuclei vestibular nuclei, reticular formation & red nucleus reticulospinal tract & rebrospinal tract motor neurons of anterior horn of spinal cord. Function: regulation of muscle tone

28 Main afferents and efferents of spinocerebellum

29 Connections and Function of Cerebellum Neocerebellum (Cerebrocerebellum) Connection Afferents: receives input from the cerebral cortex via a relay in pontine nuclei Efferents: projects to dentate nucleus dorsal thalamus and red nucleus primary motor cortex corticospinal tract motor neurons of ant. horn of spinal cord. Function: coordinator of precise movements of sleletal muscle.

34 Cerebellum lesioni and cliniclal application Cerebellum don t initiate and perform voluntary movement, therefore,lesions of the cerebellum do not result in loss of voluntary movement and general sensation. Cerebellar hemisphere injury may cause ipsilateral dyskinesia. Typical signs of the cerebellar injury;(a) ataxia,incoordination of voluntary movements,(b)nystagmus;(c) intention tremor. Archicerebellum s syndrome:it caused by the vestibulocerebellum lesion with dysequilibrum,astasia,titubation and nystagmus. Neocerebellum s syndrome: it is caused by the cerebellar hemisphere lesion.the main features are limbs ataxia (incoordination of agonistic,antagonistic,flxation,synergistic muscles),inablity of finger-to nose test. dysdiadochokinesia, lower muscular tension,nystagmus and intention tremor.
