Functional Organization of the Cerebellum

AB
VestibulocerebellumAnatomical Location: Flocculonodular lobe
Spinocerebellum- medial partAnatomical Location: Vermis
Spinocerebellum- lateral partAnatomical Location: Intermediate part of hemisphere
CerebrocerebellumAnatomical Location: Lateral part of hemisphere
VestibulocerebellumPrincipal input:Vestibular labyrinth
Spinocerebellum- medial partPrincipal input:Vestibular labyrinth, proximal body parts, facial, visual, and auditory inputs to posterior lobe only
Spinocerebellum- lateral partPrincipal input: Spinal afferents (distal muscles of limbs)
CerebrocerebellumPrincipal input: Cortical afferents
VestibulocerebellumDeep Nuclei - output: Lateral vestibular
Spinocerebellum- medial partDeep Nuclei - output: Fastigial
Spinocerebellum- lateral partDeep Nuclei - output: Interposed (Globose and Embeliform)
CerebrocerebellumDeep Nuclei - output: Dentate (Largest nucleus)
VestibulocerebellumPrincipal destination:Medial systems: axial motor neurons and control of eye muscles
Spinocerebellum- medial partPrincipal destination:Medial systems: vestibular nucleus, reticular formation, and motor cortex
Spinocerebellum- lateral partPrincipal destination: Lateral systems: red nucleus (magnocellular part) and motor cortex for distal limb muscles.
CerebrocerebellumPrincipal destination: Integration areas: red nucleus (parvocellular part) and premotor cortex (area 6)
VestibulocerebellumFunction:Axial control and vestibular reflexes. Stability of eye movements.
Spinocerebellum- medial partFunction: Axial and proximal limb motor control; regulation of ongoing execution of movement
Spinocerebellum- lateral partFunction: Distal motor control; regulation of ongoing execution
CerebrocerebellumFunction:Motor learning, initiation, planning, and timing
Consequences of lesions: VestibulocerebellumLoss/reduction of postural stability. Ataxic gait (improves on lying down), wide-based posture, nystagmus.
Consequences of lesions: Spinocerebellum- medial partAtaxic gait (does not improve on lying down). Titubation – truncal tremors during standing or sitting. Truncal ataxia
Consequences of lesions: Spinocerebellum- lateral partAction tremors. Ataxia of limb movements.
Consequences of lesions:CerebrocerebellumDysdiadocho-kinesia – inability to perform rapidly alternating movements. Decomposition of movement.
