Chapter 56: Contributions of the Cerebellum
And Basal Ganglia to Overall Motor Control
Guyton and Hall, Textbook of Medical Physiology, 12 edition
Cerebellum and Its Motor Functions
• The cerebellum plays major roles in the timingof motor activities and in rapid, smoothprogression from one muscle movement to the next.
• The basal ganglia help to plan and control complexpatterns of muscle movement
• Cerebellum helps to sequence motor activitiesand monitors and makes corrective adjustmentsduring motor activities
Cerebellum and Its Motor Functions
• The cerebellum receives continuously updated information from the brain motor control areas
• Aids the cerebral cortex in planning sequentialmovements

Functional Unit of the Cerebellar Cortex
Fig. 56.7 The left side of this figure shows the basic neuronal circuit of the cerebellum, with the excitatory neurons shown in red, and the inhibitory neuron (Purkinje cell) shown in black.
Functional Unit of the Cerebellar Cortex
• Cerebellum has nearly 30 million nearly
identical functional units; a Purkinje cell
on a corresponding deep nuclear cell
• Three major layers
a. Molecular layerb. Purkinje cell layerc. Granule cell layer
Functional Unit of the Cerebellar Cortex
• Neuronal Circuit of the Functional Unit
a. Purkinje fibers and deep nuclear cells firecontinuously under normal resting conditions
b. Balance between excitation and inhibition at thedeep cerebellar nuclei
c. Other inhibitory cells1. Basket cells2. Stellate cells
Functional Unit of the Cerebellar Cortex
• Turn-On/Turn-Off and Turn-Off/Turn-On Output
Signals from the Cerebellum
• The Purkinje Cells Learn to Correct Motor Errors-
Role of the Climbing Fibers
Functional Unit of the Cerebellar Cortex
• Function of the Cerebellum in Overall Motor Control
a. Vestibulocerebellum functions in association with thebrain stem and spinal cord to control equilibrium andpostural movements
b. Spinocrebellum-feedback control of distal limb move-ments
1. Prevention of overshooting of movements andto “damp” movements
2. Control of ballistic movements
Functional Unit of the Cerebellar Cortex
• Function of the Cerebellum in Overall Motor Control
c. Cerebrocerebellum-function of the large lateral zoneto plan, sequence, and time complex movements
1. Planning of sequential movements2. Timing function3. Extramotor predictive functions

Basal Ganglia-Their Motor Functions
• Function of the Basal Ganglia to Change the Timingand to Scale the Intensity of Movements
a. Brain must determine how rapidly the movement isto be performed, and
b. Control how large the movement will be
