Cerebellum part 1

1. Which of these statements of the tracts to the archicerebellum is incorrect?

It affects the LM system bilaterally via descending vestibulo-spinal and reticospinal tracts
afferent fibres= From vestibula nuclei in pons and medulla to cortex of ipsilateral flocculo-nodular lobe
Afferent = Dorsal and ventral spinocerebellar tract from muscle and joint and cutaneous receptors to enter the cortex ipsilaterslly from vermis and paravermis via inf. and sup. cerebellar peduncles.
Efferent fibres= projects to fastigial nucleus which then goes to vestibular nuclei and reticular formation

1 of 7

the corticol fibres goes to the globose and emboliform nuclei then to the red nucleus in the midbrain via superior cerebellar peduncles to then form the descending rubrospinal tracts
projects to fastigial nucleus which then goes to vestibular nuclei and reticular formation
dentate nucleus to the red nucleus and the ventral lateral nucleus of the thalamus to the motor cortex of frontal lobe which then forms the corticospinal and corticobulbar pathways

The midline of the vermis and paravermis and surounding globus and embelliform nuclei
foolluculonodular and fastigal nucleus
most of the cerebellar parts with dendate nucleus
