Document Summary

Attached to the brain stem under the visual cortex. All of the areas of the cerebellum produce the same function but just on different inputs. When it"s damaged you get a disruption of coordination of posture, impaired balance, It regulates movement and posture but it does so indirectly. Involved in other functions; motor learning, cognitive function and decrease in muscle tone. Has enormous amount of tissue due to its folds-folia. Few neurons, lots of axons and dendrites. One of the two most important cells mainly controls output. Integrates signals from cortex and sends to deep cerebellar nuclei. Project their axons to the molecular layer. When inputs come in they either go to granule and purkinje. Granule cells send their axons to purkinje and they send an output down so they are able to communicate. Feedback control : movement that you"re programmed to make.
