Term
| vestibulocerebellum (flocculonodular lobe of cerebellum) deep nuclei output |
|
Definition
| lateral vestibular nuclei |
|
|
Term
| spinocerebellum medial part (vermis of cerebellum) deep nuclei output |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| cerebrocerebellum (lateral part of cerebellum) deep nuclei output |
|
Definition
| dentate nucleus (largest) |
|
|
Term
| spinocerebellum lateral part (intermediate part of cerebellum) deep nuclei output |
|
Definition
| interposed (globose and embeliform) nuclei |
|
|
Term
| CN III Lesion (Oculomotor) |
|
Definition
| Eye deviates laterally and depressed, loss of ability to open eye (complete ptosis) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Diplopia when eye adducted and depressed |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| loss of ability to deviate eye laterally, diplopia when abduction attempted |
|
|
Term
| (Cerebellar) Fastigial nucleus |
|
Definition
nucleus involved with the vestibulocerebellum (archecerebellum),
and with coordination and balance of axial musculature. Lesion of this nucleus
or its efferent connections could result in bobbing of the head (titubation or
truncal ataxia). |
|
|
Term
| (Cerebellar) interposed nucleus (a combination of the globose and emboliform nuclei) |
|
Definition
associated with the spinocerebellum. A lesion of this nucleus would lead to
cerebellar ataxia and a tendency to fall towards the side of lesion. Pendular
reflexes would be observed in the ipsilateral lower limb. A lesion of the
spinocerebellum is especially characteristic of acute alcohol intoxication and
chronic alcoholism. |
|
|
Term
| (Cerebellar) dentate nucleus |
|
Definition
nucleus associated with the cerebrocerebellum (neocerebellum).
A lesion of this nucleus or its efferent connections would lead to dysdiadocho-
kinesia, past pointing, and an intention tremor, and decomposition of movement. |
|
|
Term
| Scissor Gait (where commonly seen, what lesions?) |
|
Definition
abnormal gait commonly seen in spastic cerebral palsy. It is a
consequence of an upper motor neuron lesion |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Axial control and vestibular reflexes. Stability of eye movements |
|
|
Term
| spinocerebellum medial part |
|
Definition
| axial and proximal limb motor control, regulation of ongoing execution of movements |
|
|
Term
| spinocerebellum lateral part |
|
Definition
| distal motor control, regulation of ongoing execution of movements |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| motor learning, initiation, planning, and timing (cognitive tasks like planning and timing) |
|
|
Term
| vestibulocerebellum (flocculonodular lobe of cerebellum) lesion |
|
Definition
loss/reduction of postural stability, ataxic gait (improves on lying down), wide-based posture, nystagmus, eye movement difficulties (smooth pursuits,
voluntary eye movements) |
|
|
Term
| spinocerebellum medial part (vermis of cerebellum) lesion |
|
Definition
| ataxic gait (does NOT improve on lying down), titubation: truncal tremors during sitting or standing, truncal ataxia |
|
|
Term
| cerebrocerebellum lesion (lateral part of cerebellum) |
|
Definition
| dysdiadochokinesia, dysmetria, decomposition of movement |
|
|
Term
| spinocerebellum lateral part (intermediate part of cerebellum) lesion |
|
Definition
| action tremors, ataxia of limb movements |
