Modulation of movement by the cerebellum

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
show False. They send prominant projections to virtually all circuits that govern Upper motor neurons  
🗑
Projections TO the cerebellum come from the   show
🗑
show the deep cerebellar nuclei  
🗑
show To detect the difference or "motor error" between the intended movement and the actual movment  
🗑
show Purkinje cells are GABAergic. They are the only source of output from the cerebellum  
🗑
show Axons from the pontine nuclei are called mossy fibers.  
🗑
Where do mossy fibers receive their projections from?   show
🗑
show The contralateral cerabellar cortex. They synapse on neurons in the deep cerebellar nuclei, and on granule cells in the granule layer of the cererbal cortex.  
🗑
What are the axons of granule cells called, and where do they go?   show
🗑
show They form T-shaped excitatory synapses with the dendrites of Purkinje cells.  
🗑
True or false: Mossy fibers from the pontine nuclei synapse with granule cells, whose axons (parallel fibers) synapse with purkinje cells   show
🗑
True or false: Parallel fibers are the same thing as purkinje cells.   show
🗑
show Climbing fibers are the axons of the cells arising from the inferior olive.  
🗑
show Climbing fibers directly modulate input to purkinje cells  
🗑
True or false: The Sole output of the cerebellum is excitatory   show
🗑
show They are found in the molecular layer. They receive input from parallel fibers, and provide inhibitory feedback to granule cells.  
🗑
show LTD happens when both climbing fibers and parallel fibers are activated at the synapses with Purkinje cells.  
🗑
show There is a reduction in the efficacy of parallel fiber input to purkinje cells. This weakens the influence of the inhibitory loop by increasing the response of neurons in the deep cerebellar nuclei to afferent activity  
🗑
What does the formation of LTD seem to be?   show
🗑
show Reductions in the purkinje cell responses to parallel fiber inputs.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
