Damage to the arbor vitae, which is the white matter structure within the cerebellum, can lead to various motor coordination issues, balance problems, and difficulties in fine motor skills. This may result in symptoms such as ataxia, tremors, or impaired movement control. Since the arbor vitae plays a crucial role in the integration of sensory and motor information, its damage can also affect cognitive functions related to movement. Rehabilitation and therapy may help improve some of these deficits, depending on the extent of the damage.
it brings sensory and motor information to and from the cerebellum
Cerebellum
The white matter in the cerebellum is called 'arbor vitae,' meaning 'Tree of Life.' The name refers to the appearance of this part of the brain as branches on trees extending out. Within the arbor vitae are cerebellar nuclei, which receive excitatory inputs from nerve fibers.
The arbor vitae refers to the cerebellar white matter
It's in the cerebellum. When cut in half it looks like an upside down tree, hence arbor vitae.
The white matter of the cerebellum forms the arbor vitae, which refers to the branching pattern resembling a tree. It contains nerve fibers that connect different parts of the cerebellum and also connects the cerebellum to other parts of the brain.
Arbor vitae is a Latin term that translates to "tree of life." In anatomy, it refers to the cerebellar white matter in the brain due to its branching structure resembling a tree. In horticulture, it commonly refers to the Thuja occidentalis tree, known for its dense, evergreen foliage.
