The flocculus is most important for the pursuit of movements with the eyes.

Like other parts of the cerebellum, the flocculus is involved in motor control.

The flocculus also plays a role in keeping the body oriented in space.

The exact cause of the disorder and its pathogenic effect on the flocculus is unknown.

The flocculus has a complex circuitry that is reflected in the structure of the zones and halves.

Depending upon where stimulus occurs in the flocculus, signals can be projected to very different parts of the brain.

At its base, the flocculus receives input from the middle ears vestibular system and regulates balance.

The flocculus sends out neural signals that produce small, automatic movements in the eye muscles.

The flocculus is a brain region that integrates signals from joints, muscles, skin and balance organs.

Earlier data contradicting the flocculus hypothesis were obtained in the ventral paraflocculus.

The anatomy of the flocculus shows that it is composed of two disjointed lobes or halves.

Constituted by two disjointed-shaped lobes, the flocculus is positioned within the lowest level of the cerebellum.

The cerebellum, which houses the flocculus, is located in the back and at the base of the human brain, directly above the brainstem.

The flocculus is contained within the flocculonodular lobe which is connected to the cerebellum.

There are three main subdivisions in the cerebellum and the flocculus is contained within the most primitive the vestibulocerebellum.

Flocculus is the diminutive form of the Latin word for a tuft of wool: floccus.

There are five separate "zones" in the flocculus and two halves, the caudal and rostral half.

Vestibular inputs are also carried through climbing fibers that project into the flocculus, stimulating Purkinje cells.

If this shift is repeated the flocculus essentially trains the brain to fully readjust to this repeated stimuli.

Bilateral lesions of the flocculus reduce the gain of smooth pursuit, which is the steady tracking of a moving object by the eyes.

These "zones" of the flocculus refer to five separate groupings of Purkinje cells that project to different areas of the brain.

Neurons in both the vermis of cerebellum and flocculus transmit an eye velocity signal that correlates with smooth pursuit.

The idea that the flocculus is involved in motor learning gave rise to the "flocculus hypothesis."

Pterosaurs may have had such a large flocculus because of their large wing size, which would mean that there was a great deal more sensory information to process.

Lesions in the flocculus impair control of the vestibulo-ocular reflex, and gaze holding also known as vestibulocerebellar syndrome.

Floc should be drunk within a year after the production.

A period with slow stirring to allow time for the floc to form is an important stage in the flocculation treatment.

In these plants, a biotic floc is created which provides the required substrate.

The term most often used for the amorphous metal hydroxides is "floc."

It is a large tank with low water velocities, allowing floc to settle to the bottom.

The other method is to produce an oxygen gradient within the bio floc.

Flocculation has also been classified according to time of onset and floc morphology.

It reacts with slightly basic water to make a "floc" that can remove things from the water.

The word "floc" comes from the Occitan language and means bouquet of flowers.

I never thought about insoluble floc or coagulants.

'Floc old boy, you got the hang of an optics tool yet?'

Floc de Gascogne is produced in both white and rosé varieties.

You will exit the Gun in ten seconds Floc.'

'Surely answering such questions is the reason that you are on this path, Floc.

About 5 percent of the suspended solids may still remain as non-settleable floc particles.

Within a few weeks, 21 other growers had agreed to contracts with FLOC as well.

By 1977, however, FLOC had only 700 members.

So that year 2,000 FLOC members walked off their jobs in Ohio.

FLOC also began to expand its organizing efforts.

Some memory dysfunction is an unavoidable consequence of such huge changes I'm afraid, Floc.'

More than 6,000 of the state's 10,000 guest workers joined FLOC.

In the fall of 1985, Campbell's officials agreed to negotiate with FLOC.

FLOC continued to address issues related to its collective bargaining agreement in the late 1980s.

FLOC also fought back against subtle state-sponsored pressure.

The water's kept circulating to create a floc of good size and density for later removal in the sedimentation basins."

I knew the flock would stay together now, no matter what.

These old men with kids in high school and college were his flock.

If you do, bring a flock of them up here.

I had no idea if the rest of the flock would be able to help.

He felt better for his decision to be just another one of the Flock.

It seemed clear they were looking for the rest of the flock.

It made me different from the rest of the flock.

Well, he'd be back up with the flock within the hour.

And from the way most of the flock was watching him, he could tell they wanted an answer.

At this point, the mind of the flock would be changed.

He clearly felt that his flock was all around him.

"Land down there so I can ask him about his flock!"

This was, he said, his first day with the new flock.

I'll be back on my feet in a day or two, and we can see about starting a new flock.

His flock has no hope of keeping up with him.

Just when some of my flock were having second thoughts, too!

"I have a really nice flock of 25 to look after."

Within two more years, the flock had increased to 3,500.

It was as if he were indeed watching over his flock.

At this crisis of his life, what did the flock matter?

One of my flock has a pretty senior position there.

"Do you understand why I kept quiet, and told all the flock not to say anything?"

His family is more than happy to welcome him back into the flock.

The Church has a right to expect that he will be an example to the flock.

It was time to minister to more members of the flock.

"We knew it would come here," Floccus said.

The name cirrus floccus is derived from Latin, meaning "a lock of wool".

Cirrus floccus occurs as small tufts of cloud, usually with a ragged base.

Nobody in 1660 talked of a "floccus" of knuckle hair because it's a 19th-century word.

Its specific epithet is derived from the Latin floccus 'flock of wool'.

Cirrus floccus is a type of cirrus cloud.

Cirrocumulus floccus appears as small tufts of cloud with rounded heads, but ragged bottoms.

Flocculus is the diminutive form of the Latin word for a tuft of wool: floccus.

Cirrocumulus clouds come in four species: stratiformis, lenticularis, castellanus, and floccus.

Like cirrocumulus castellanus, cirrocumulus floccus is an indicator of atmospheric instability at the level of the cloud.

In fact, cirrocumulus floccus can form from cirrocumulus castellanus, being the evolutionary state after the base of the original cloud has dissipated.

"Comes from a quote by the Roman tribune Quintus Horatius Floccus: "Nothing is too high for the daring of mortals; they storm heaven in their folly."

This species is also sometimes seen with convective patches of cirrus, as are the more detached tufted floccus species, which are common to cirrus, cirrocumulus, and altocumulus, but not stratocumulus.

It is occasionally seen with cirrocumulus and altocumulus of the species stratiformis, castellanus, and floccus, and with stratocumulus of the species stratiformis and castellanus.

He IMAJICA 499 nodded his consent, and the parties divided at the gate: Floccus Dado back to Father Athanasius, Gentle and Nikaetomaas up towards the Autarch's fortress.

At formation, the cirrus floccus clouds are bright white and can be mistaken for altocumulus clouds; however, after a few minutes, the brightness begins to fade, indicating they are made up of pure ice, and are therefore at a higher level.
