The word cerebellar refers to the cerebellum. This is also called the Little Brain. The cerebellum, in the back of the brain, controls balance, coordination and fine muscle control (e.g., walking).
Damage may cause ataxias (inability to walk in a straight line). An infarct is another name for a small localized area of dead tissue resulting from failure of blood supply. In the case of the brain, a stroke.
This person had a stoke in the cerebellum and may have problems with balance and walking.
What else can I help you with?
Which cerebellar peduncle is the thickest?
The middle cerebellar peduncle is the thickest of the three cerebellar peduncles. It is the largest and most prominent of the three, connecting the cerebellum to the brainstem and allowing for communication between the cerebellum and other parts of the brain.
What are the only neurons of cerebellar cortex that send their axons outside of cerebellar cortex?
purkinje cells
Which one of the cerebellar peduncles that contains afferent fibers only?
It's the middle cerebellar peduncle.As for superior cerebellar and inferior cerebellar peduncles, they are both contain afferent and efferent fibres.
Does an infarct putrefy?
Generally no, unless blood supply is returned to the area or a supporating bacteria somehow invades the area. One of the more common locations for an infarct is in the kidneys, and the usual chronic result is fibrosis, not putrefaction.
What are the only excitatory neurons in cerebellar cortex?
Granule cells are the only excitatory neurons in the cerebellar cortex. They receive input from mossy fibers and synapse onto Purkinje cells and Golgi cells.
What are other names for Wallenberg syndrome?
The syndrome is also known as lateral medullary infarct (LMI) or posterior inferior cerebellar artery syndrome (PICA).
Connects cerebellar hemispheres at midline?
It is the cerebellar vermis.

Which cerebellar peduncle is the smallest?
Superior cerebellar peduncle (it's also the most medial of the 3 peduncles)
What does Cerebellar mean?
Involving the cerebellum
Why does a drunkard stagger?

Does the peduncle connect the cerebellum to the brainsteam?
