• Cerebellum – 10% of the total volume of the brain– More than half of all its neurons– Highly regular manner– Organized projection
• Receiving projection from brain and spinal cord• Projecting to different motor systems
– Motor system modulation• Evaluating disparities between intention and action• Adjusting the operation of motor centers
– Three aspects of the cerebellum’s organization1. Providing with extensive information2. Focusing on the premotor and motor system3. Modifying the synaptic transmission in the circuit modules

Different views of cerebellum
• Composition of cerebellum– Outer gray matter (cerebellar cortex)– Inner white matter– 3 pairs of deep nuclei
• Fastigial nucleus• Interpose nucleus (globose nucleus, emboliform nucleus)• Dentate nucleus
• Cerebellar tracts– Inferior cerebellar peduncle (afferent projection)– Middle cerebellar peduncle (afferent projection)– Superior cerebellar peduncle (efferent projection)
5
Anatomically distinct lobes
– Distinct lobes (horizontal)• Anterior lobe• Primary fissure• Posterior lobe• Posterolateral fissure• Flocculonodular lobe
– Distinct lobes (longitudinal)• Vermis• Intermediate part of hemisphere• Lateral part of hemisphere

Projections of cerebellum
7
Cellular structure of cerebellum
– 3 layers• Molecular layer• Purkinje cell layer• Granular layer
– 5 neuronal types• Inhibitory (GABA)
– Stellate neuron– Basket neuron– Purkinje neuron– Golgi neuron
• Excitatory (Glu)– Granule cell
8
Synaptic glomerulus

• Excitatory input of cerebellum
– Mossy fiber• Originate: nuclei in the spinal cord and brain stem • Carry : sensory information• Terminate on: dendrites of granule cells
– Climbing fiber• Originate: inferior olivary nucleus• Carry: somatosensory, visual, or cerebral cortical information• Terminate on: cell bodies and proximal dendrites of purkinje neurons

11
• Output of granule cell– Parallel fibers
12
• Excitatory inputs to Purkinje cells– Parallel fibers • 1 Purkinje cells receives million inputs
– Climbing fibers • 1 climbing fiber contacts 1-10 Purkinje cells• Arranged topographically
• Inhibitory inputs to Purkinje cells– Stellate interneurons– Basket interneurons– Golgi interneurons

(+)
• Complex spike– An initial large amplitude spike
followed by a high-frequency burst of smaller amplitude action potential
– Evoked by climbing fibers
• Simple spike– A brief excitatory postsynaptic
potential that generates a single action potential
– Evoked by parallel fibers

Complex spikeSimple spike
Mossy and climbing fibers encode peripheral and descending information

Climbing fiber activity produces long-lasting effects on the synaptic efficacy of parallel fibers
• Climbing fiber action potentials reduce the strength of the parallel fiber input to the Purkinje neurons.
• Activity in climbing fibers can induce selective long-term depression (LTD) in the synaptic strength of parallel fibers.

Functional properties of cerebellum
• Balance and eye movement • Body and limb movement• Somatosensory information• Feed-forward mechanims• Planning movement• Cognitive function• Motor learning
21
• Balance and eye movement – Vestibulocerebellum
(flocculonodular lobe)• Receives input from :
semicircular canals and otolith organs• Senses motion of head and
position relative to gravity
22
• Lesion– Impairing • Eye movement during head rotation• Movement of limbs and body during
standing and walking
– Difficulty maintaining balance– Pattern• Separating their feed widely• Moving legs irregularly
23

Precerebellar neuclei
Sensory maps in cerebellum
–Vermis• Head and trunk
–Cerebellar hemisphere• Limb
–Fractured somatotropy• The same body part in
different locations
25
Somatotopy in deep cerebellar nuclei
– Arranging to receive projection• Two maps
– Dorsal and ventral surfaces – Intermediate and lateral zone
– Projecting arrangement • Magnocellular red nucleus• Primary motor cortex via thalamus
– Intermediate zone (spinocerebellum)
– Lateral zone (cerebrocerebellum)

• Lesion – Cerebellar hypotonia• Reducing the excitability of motor neurons and muscle tone
– Dysmetria (abnormal measure)• Disrupting the accuracy of reaching movement
– Ataxic (loss of order)• The path of hand in reaching is curved
– Terminal tremor • Hands oscillate irregularly around the target
31
Cerebrocerebellum Is Involved in Planning Movement and Evaluating Sensory Information for Action
• Cerebrocerebellum (Lateral hemisphere)– Part of a high-level internal feedback circuit– Regulating cortical motor programs– Pathway

– Lesions • disrupting motor planning and prolonging
reaction time• Decomposition of movement

Cerebellum participates in motor learning34
Normal Patients
Distinctive symptoms and signs in cerebellar disease
• A lesion in the right cerebellar hemisphere– Delaying the initiation of movement
35
• Dysmetria – Inaccuracy in range and direction
• Decomposition of movement
• Tremor increasing
36
• Dysdiadochokinesia– Irregular pattern of alternating movements
