General functions3
Cerebellum Major role in timing of motor
activities and in rapid, smooth progression of movements Monitors and makes corrective
adjustments to motor plan Basal ganglia
Helps plan and control complex patterns of movement Relative movement intensities,
directions, and sequenceNo direct projections to lower motor
neurons of skeletal muscleMovement influenced by regulation of
activity of upper motor neurons

Cerebellar cortex: functional divisions
5
Vestibulocerebellum Inputs:
From vestibular nuclei in brainstem Function:
Regulate movements underlying posture and equilibrium
Coordination of eye and head movements Damage:
Impairs ability to stand upright, maintain posture and balance
Cerebellar nystagmus
![Page 6: Cerebellum and basal ganglia](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a5d6841a28abeb148b48ba/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Cerebellar cortex: functional divisions
6
Spinocerebellum Inputs:
Directly from spinal cord Function:
Lateral portion Movement of distal muscle (ex. gross
movements during walking) Central portion (vermis)
Movement of proximal muscles Damage:
Overshoot and intension tremor Impaired gait
![Page 7: Cerebellum and basal ganglia](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a5d6841a28abeb148b48ba/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Cerebellar cortex: functional divisions
7
Cerebrocerebellum Inputs:
Many areas of cerebral cortex (relayed thru pons) Function:
Planning and timing of sequential movements Speech
Damage: Ataxia: incoordination of complex, purposeful movements of
hands, fingers, feet and speech apparatus Failure of smooth progression of movement
Lesions to any division of cerebellum result in impairments on ipsilateral side of the body

Cerebellum: projections8
4 deep cerebellar nucleireceive input from
cerebellarcortex and send projections to thalamus1. Fastigial
2. 2 Interposed
3. Dentate
Information travels viacerebellar peduncles1. Superior (efferent)
2. Middle (afferent)
3. Inferior (mixed)Sunderland Fig 19.1
![Page 9: Cerebellum and basal ganglia](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a5d6841a28abeb148b48ba/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cerebellum: inputs
9
Receive many inputs from periphery, spinal
cord and brain regions
Sunderland Fig 19.3
![Page 10: Cerebellum and basal ganglia](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a5d6841a28abeb148b48ba/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Cerebellum: outputs

Sunderland Fig 19.6
Why would lesions to the cerebellar cortex affect movement on ipsilateral
side of the body?
![Page 11: Cerebellum and basal ganglia](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a5d6841a28abeb148b48ba/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The basal ganglia
11
Sunderland Fig 18.1
Striatum
Receives inputs from and projects back to motor cortex via thalamus
Closed loop
![Page 12: Cerebellum and basal ganglia](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a5d6841a28abeb148b48ba/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The basal ganglia:inputs
12
Striatum is main input center
integrates inputs from a variety of structures, including substantia nigra pars compacta
No input directly from spinal cord
Send inhibitory connections to two main output centers
Sunderland Fig 18.2
![Page 13: Cerebellum and basal ganglia](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a5d6841a28abeb148b48ba/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The basal ganglia:outputs
13
Internal globus pallidus and substantia nigra pars reticulata are main output centers
SN-pars reticulata mainly projects to superior colliculus
Eye movement Internal globus pallidus
mainly projects to thalamus Relays output to motor
cortices Each send tonic inhibitory signals
Sunderland Fig 18.5
![Page 14: Cerebellum and basal ganglia](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a5d6841a28abeb148b48ba/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The basal ganglia: general circuitry
14
Input: to striatumOuput: internal globus pallidus and
substantia nigra pars reticulata Inhibitory connections
GABA throughout most of basal ganglia
Excitatory connections: Glutamate from cortex,
subthalamic nucleus and thalamus
Dopamine from subsantia nigra pars compacta can be either inhibitory or excitatory
Sunderland Fig 18.1
![Page 15: Cerebellum and basal ganglia](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a5d6841a28abeb148b48ba/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The basal ganglia: generalcircuitry
15
Outputs of striatum project via two different pathways
each pathway is modulated by dopamine from substantia nigra pars compacta
Direct Facilitates movement Excited by dopamine (D1
receptors) Indirect
Inhibits movement Inhibited by dopamine (D2
receptors) Kandel Figure 43-3
What effect does dopamine release have on movement?
![Page 16: Cerebellum and basal ganglia](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a5d6841a28abeb148b48ba/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The basal ganglia: generalcircuitry (supplementary slide)
16
The basal ganglia enables the proper motor program to be activated via the direct pathway and inhibits competing motor programs via the indirect pathway.
Can be modulated by SnC
![Page 17: Cerebellum and basal ganglia](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a5d6841a28abeb148b48ba/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The basal ganglia: direct pathway
17
Sunderland Fig 18.8
Dopamine release onto D1 = Increased excitation of motor cortices
Cortical projections to direct pathway result in dis-inhibition of thalamus
![Page 18: Cerebellum and basal ganglia](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a5d6841a28abeb148b48ba/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The basal ganglia: indirect pathway18
Sunderland Fig 18.8
Dopamine release onto D2 = Increased excitation of motor cortices
Cortical projections to indirect pathway result in dis-
inhibition of subthalamic nucleus and inhibition of
thalamus
![Page 19: Cerebellum and basal ganglia](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a5d6841a28abeb148b48ba/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Disorders of the basal ganglia19
Parkinson’s Disease Characterized by resting tremor,
slowed/absent movement (hypokinesia), rigidity of the extremities and neck, & reduced facial expressiveness
Caused by the loss of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta
Typically treated with L-Dopa

Parkinson’s Disease20
