MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebellum can also be divided by function. There are three functional areas of the cerebellum – the cerebrocerebellum, the spinocerebellum and the vestibulocerebellum. Cerebrocerebellum – the largest division, formed by the lateral hemispheres. It is involved in planning movements and motor learning.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both the paleocerebellum and the neocerebellum include a part of the spinocerebellum and the cerebrocerebellum.

Detailed explanation-3: -The dentate nucleus is the largest deep cerebellar cluster of neurons; it has a dentated – serrated – edge. Efferent fibers of the dentate nucleus are involved in the modulation of motor neurons and neurons involved in conscious thought and visuospatial function.
