AN60.1-3 | Introduction to Cerebellum
Learning Objectives
- Describe and demonstrate the external and internal features of the cerebellum (AN60.1)
- Describe the connections of the cerebellar cortex and intracerebellar nuclei (AN60.2)
- Describe the anatomical basis of cerebellar dysfunction (AN60.3)
INSTRUCTIONS
Understand the functional zones of the cerebellum (spinocerebellum, pontocerebellum, vestibulocerebellum) and map the intracerebellar nuclei to each zone. Clinical signs of cerebellar disease are direct translations of these connections.
