Document Summary
3 cerebellar lobes: anterior(looks superior), posterior(looks inferior), flocculonodular (left and right flocullus sitting between the anterior and posterior lobes and a big nodulus between the 2) 4 deep cerebellar nuclei: dentate, fastigial, emboliform & globose: dentate: looks like inferior oliverary nucleus and sitting laterally. All these nuclei are relay: info coming into the cerebellum, we have processing in its cortex. Projecting from the cerebellar cortex to the deep cerebellar nuclei. It makes it a lot easier to understand. Inferior olivary nuclear complex: through the closed medulla (nuclei and peduncles, pyramids) Receives afferents from the motor & sensory cortices of the cerebral hemisphere & from red nucleus of the midbrain and vestibular nuclie and hence begin to integrate it: hence why its so big. Send the informaiton to the cerebellum via the. Olivocerebellarfibres = climbing fibres from inferior olverary nuclei to the cerebellum.
