The Cerebellum
Cerebellum
The cerebellum is located dorsal to the pons and medulla under the occipital lobe of the cerebral hemispheres
The Cerebellum
It is separated from the occipital lobe by the transverse fissure
It rests in the posterior cranial fossa of the skull
The Cerebellum
The cerebellum processes inputs received from
–Cerebral motor cortex
–Various brain stem nuclei
–Sensory receptors
The cerebellum provides precise timing and appropriate patterns of skeletal muscle contraction
Need for the smooth, coordinated movements of daily living
Cerebeller activity occurs subconsciously; we have no awareness of its functioning
The Cerebellum
The cerebellum is bilaterally symmetrical
Its two cerebellar hemispheres are
connected medially |
|
by the wormlike |
|
vermis |
Vermis |
The Cerebellum
Its surface is heavily convoluted
Fissure are all transversely orientated
The surface exhibits fine, parallel,
pleatlike gyri known Vermis as folia
The Cerebellum
Deep fissures divide each hemisphere into three lobes
–Anterior lobe
–Posterior lobe
–Flocculonodular lobe* (Cannot be seen in a surface view)
Anterior
Posterior
The Cerebellum
The cerebellum has a thin outer cortex of gray matter
Internal white matter
Small, deeply situated paired masses of gray matter
The Cerebellum
Several types of neurons are found in the cerebellur cortex
– Stellate
–Basket
–Granule
– Purkinje

The Cerebellum
The large Purkinje cells with their extensively branched dendrites are the only cortical neurons that send their axons through the white matter to synapse with the central nuclei of the cerebellum
These nuclei mediate most of the output of the cerebellum
The Cerebellum
The anterior and posterior lobes of the cerebellum act to coordinate body movements
The lobes have completely overlapping sensory and motor maps of the entire body
