They regulate motor activity, precisely start or stop movements, coordinate movements with posture, block unwanted movements, and monitor muscle tone. They control the outcome of the cortex and brain stem motor centers and stand at the highest level of the motor hierarchy.

What is the nuclei that coordinate motor output?

I'm not sure what nuclei would do that. If you mean cellular nuclei then it would be the nuclei in the soma on the motor neuron. But, if you are asking about motor coordination, that is controlled by a part of the brain called the cerebellum.


Where is the motor cortex in the brain?

Both the cerebellum and the basal nuclei (also called the basal ganglia) are the pre-command centers of the brain.


What is the connection between cerebellum and the ears?

Cerebellum receives the information regarding equilibriumfrom your inner ears. The information reaches your cerebellum both directly through your vestibular nerve, and also indirectly through your vestibular nuclei.


What parts of the brain ultimately plan and coordinate complex motor activities?

cerebellum and basal nuclei


Is the cerebellum and basal nuclei involved in regulating motor activity and coordinating postural movements?

Yes, both the cerebellum and basal nuclei are involved in regulating motor activity and coordinating postural movements. The cerebellum helps in smooth coordination and precision of movements, while the basal nuclei assist in initiating and inhibiting movements to maintain posture and balance. Together, they play crucial roles in controlling voluntary movements and maintaining stability.


Is the cortex of cerebellum white or gray matter?

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.


What are cells that do not have a nuclei called?

all cells have a nuclei


Which parts of the brain is involved in regulation of nystagmus?

The cerebellum and brainstem are the main areas of the brain involved in regulating nystagmus. The cerebellum helps coordinate eye movements, while the brainstem controls the eye muscles involved in nystagmus. Irregularities in these areas can lead to nystagmus.


What passes corrective signals from cerebellum and basal nuclei to motor cortex for control of movement?

Neurons pass information back and forth via electrical and chemical signals.


What is organism whose cells contain nuclei called?

An organism whose cels contain nuclei is called eukaryots!


What does the cerebellum have more than other part of the brain?

The cerebellum consists of a tightly folded and crumpled layer of cortex, with white matter underneath, several deep nuclei embedded in the white matter, and a fluid-filled ventricle at the base. At the microscopic level, each part of the cerebellar cortex consists of the same small set of neuronal elements, laid out with a highly stereotyped geometry. At an intermediate level, the cerebellum and its auxiliary structures can be decomposed into several hundred or thousand independently functioning modules called "microzones" or "microcompartments".


What is a conduction pathway between higher and lower brain centers and houses nuclei for cranial nerves 5-7?

The pons serves as the conduction pathway between higher and lower brain centers. It also contains nuclei for cranial nerves 5 (trigeminal), 6 (abducens), and 7 (facial).
