2 ways to see anatomy:
anterior, posterior, flocculonodular lobes
vermis, hermisphere
modify motor activity of cortex
dentate most lateral located, influences same part of thalamus that basal ganglia influences
dentate most lateral, lesions behave like lateral lesions
other nuclei lesions behave more like medial lesions
purkinje can modify deep nuclei
left side influences left body
dysmetria: can't control where movement happens (touch nose/finger)
intention tremor: begin to shake
leg: falling because can't position
truncal: wobbly because can't hold trunk in midline
Difficult to get feet planted in right place. If too narrow will fall over, therefore wide to avoid fall
wide gait ataxia and falling with eyes open
can't coordinate movement, including mouth movement
nausea/vomiting due to area postrema triggered and increased ICP
both autosomal recessive
cancer usually what's fatal
remember brain, heart, pancreas
