deep cerebellar nuclei

The globose nucleus is one of the deep cerebellar nuclei.

The whole cerebellum has only one output, which necessarily leads from the deep cerebellar nuclei.

The cerebellum has four deep cerebellar nuclei embedded in the white matter in its center.

In deep cerebellar nuclei, calcium currents are not uniformly distributed along a dendrite.

These fibers form excitatory synapses with the granule cells and the cells of the deep cerebellar nuclei.

The cerebellar cortex projects to the deep cerebellar nuclei (the corticonuclear microcomplex).

The deep cerebellar nuclei have been shown to inhibit the inferior olive and this inhbition probably serves a negative feedback control function.

Most of the output from the cerebellum initially synapses onto the deep cerebellar nuclei before exiting via the three peduncles.

The Purkinje cells of the cerbellar cortex project into the deep cerebellar nuclei and inhibit the excitatory output system.

From lateral to medial, the four deep cerebellar nuclei are the dentate, emboliform, globose, and fastigii.

Other systems that may be involved in pattern generation and regulation are the pontine respiratory group, the lateral tegmental field and the deep cerebellar nuclei.

The deep cerebellar nuclei receive the final output from the cerebellar cortex via Purkinje cells in the form of inhibition.

Also, the Purkinje cells belonging to a microzone all send their axons to the same small cluster of output cells within the deep cerebellar nuclei.

Axons enter the cerebellum via the middle and inferior cerebellar peduncles, where some branch to make contact with deep cerebellar nuclei.

Together, the deep cerebellar nuclei form a functional unit that provides feedback control of the cerebellar cortex by cerebellar output.

One exception is that fibers from the flocculonodular lobe synapse directly on vestibular nuclei without first passing through the deep cerebellar nuclei.

Other contributors include the vestibular nerve and nuclei, the spinal cord, the reticular formation, and feedback from deep cerebellar nuclei.

It sends fibres to deep cerebellar nuclei that, in turn, project to both the cerebral cortex and the brain stem, thus providing modulation of descending motor systems.

In at least one important respect, it differs in internal structure from the mammalian cerebellum: The fish cerebellum does not contain discrete deep cerebellar nuclei.

Climbing fibers ultimately project to both the deep cerebellar nuclei and Purkinje cells (PCs) in the cerebellar cortex.

Purkinje cells send inhibitory projections to the deep cerebellar nuclei, and constitute the sole output of all motor coordination in the cerebellar cortex.

There are two main pathways through the cerebellar circuit, originating from mossy fibers and climbing fibers, both eventually terminating in the deep cerebellar nuclei.

Ethanol may reduce tremor by dampening the overexcitation of glutamatergic pathways involving deep cerebellar nuclei which may also reduce levels of caspase-3 induced apoptosis.

Embedded within the white matter-which is sometimes called the arbor vitae (Tree of Life) in the cerebellum because of its branched, tree-like appearance-are four deep cerebellar nuclei.

These axons pass through the pons and enter the cerebellum via the inferior cerebellar peduncle where they form synapses with the deep cerebellar nuclei and Purkinje cells.
