Cerebellum
Latin for ‘little brain’
Largest part of hindbrain
Occupies most of posterior cranial fossa lying
on the cerebellar fossa of occipital bone
Lies behind pons & upper medulla forming
the roof of 4th ventricle
Separated from posterior part of cerebrum
by tentorium cerebelli

Basal Ganglia
1. CORPUS STRIATUM
a) CAUDATE NUCLEUS
b) LENTIFORM NUCLEUS
- PUTAMEN
- GLOBUS PALLIDUS
2. CLAUSTRUM
3. AMYGDALOID BODY (archistriatum)
Corticostriate Striatopallidal
Thalamostriate Striatonigral
Nigrostriate
Fasciculus lenticularis
Pallidotegmental
Pallidosubthalamic
Connections of the Globus pallidus
• Striatopallidal Fibers
Pass to Globus pallidus
Neurotransmitter: GABA
• Striatonigral Fibers
Pass to Pars reticulata of Substantia nigra
Neurotransmitter: GABA, Acetylcholine,
Substance P
Connections of the Globus pallidus
• Pallidofugal fibres
• Ansa lenticularis (thalamic nuclei)
• Voluntary movement
– Initiation of movement
– Control of ramp movement
– Change from one pattern to other
– Timing & scaling of intensity of movements
– Programming and correcting movement while in progress
• Postural control
– Automatic associated movement (walking, swimming)
• Control of muscle tone
