Cerebellar functional areas Anatomical shape/location of cerebellar areas is a key to their function and related tract : Vermis = Spinocerebellar = Axial Equilibrium.
Vermis: right down the axis of cerebellum, and vertically segmented like a spinal column.

Flocculonodular lobe = Vestibulocerebellar = Ear, eye, body Co-ordination.
Flocculonodular lobe: flares out to the edges, just like ears.
Hemispheres of cerebellum = Cerebrocerebellar = Peripheral Co-ordination
Hemispheres: around periphery of cerebellum, and tract to cerebral hemispheres .
Cerebellar peduncles: afferent vs efferent : "SEMA"

Olfactory
Optic
Oculomotor
Trochlear
Trigeminal
Abducens
Facial
Vestibulocochlear
Glossopharyngeal
Vagus
Accessory
Hypoglossal
Cranial nerves Functions : "Some Say Marry Money But My Brother Says Big Brain Matter More"
S= sensory , M=motor , B= both

From I to XII:

Sensory
Sensory
Motor
Motor
Both
Motor
Both
Sensory
Both
Both
Motor
Motor
Cranial nerves: Olfactory and Optic Numbers : "You have two eyes and one nose"
Optic nerve is cranial nerve Two .
Olfactory nerve is cranial nerve One .
Dysphagia vs. Dysphasia : DysphaSia is for Speech
DysphaGia is for your Gut [swallowing].
Dysphasia : Broca"s vs. Wernicke"s causing expressive vs. receptive
"BEWARE"
Broca"s area: Expressive dysphasia.
Wernicke"s Area: REceptive dysphasia
GABA vs. Glu : The excitatory vs. inhibitory transmitter in brain (eg in basal ganglia) When you Glue two things together, you add (+)
Therefore Glu is the excitatory one (+).
GABA is therefore the negative And So is The Inhibitiory one.
Geniculate bodies paired to respective colliculi : "SLIM"
Superior colliculi: Lateral geniculate body.
Inferior colliculi: Medial geniculate body.
Geniculate bodies: medial vs. lateral system : "Lateral=Light.
Medial=Music"

Lateral geniculate body is for : Visual system.
Medial geniculate is for : Auditory system.
Geniculate bodies: medial vs. lateral system : "MALE"
Medial=Auditory.
Lateral=Eye.
Medial geniculate body is for auditory system, lateral geniculate body is for visual system.
Can expand to MALES to remember Lateral=Eye=Superior colliculus (thus medial is inferior colliculus by default).
Geniculocalcarine tract :

Lower bank of calcarine sulcus is the Lingual gyrus: it receives input from Lower retinal quadrants.

Therefore, Cuneus is the Upper bank of calcarine sulcus: it receives input from Upper retinal quadrants.

Remember: lower retinal quadrants represent superior visual field quadrants and viceversa.

Huntington's: chromosome, involvements : HUNT 4 DATE
HUNTington's on chromosome 4
With cauDATE nucleus involvement.
Hypothalamus Feeding vs.Satiety center : "Late night snack"
LATEral is snacking [Feeding] center.
Therefore, Ventromedial is Satiety center.
CSF circulation ; Function of Choroid vs. Arachnoid granules :
Choroid Creates CSF.
Arachnoid granules Absorb CSF.
CSF circulation ; Function of Choroid vs. Arachnoid granules :
Choroid Creates CSF.
Arachnoid granules Absorb CSF.
Hypothalamus general functions : "LATE"
L : Libido
A : Appetite
T : Temperature
E : Emotion
Hypothalamus: feeding vs. satiety center : "Stim the lat, get fat"
Stimulating lateral increases hunger.
"Stim the ven, get thin"
Stimulating ventromedial increases satiety.

Horner's syndrome components :
"SAMPLE"
S - Sympathetic chain injury
A - Anhidrosis
M - Miosis
P - Ptosis
L - Loss of ciliospinal reflex
E - Enophthalmos
Lower vs. upper motor neuron lesion effects : 1. "STORM, Baby"
2. In a Lower motor neuron lesion, everything goes Down:

STORM Baby tells you effects


S : Strength
T : Tone
O : Other
R : Reflexes
M : Muscle mass
B : Babinski"s sign

In Lower all things go down: strength, tone, reflexes, muscle mass, and the big toe down in plantar reflex (Babinski"s sign is big toe up: toe up = UMNL).

Meninges: layers from inner to outer : "PAD"
P : Piamater
A : Arachnoid
D : Dura
Multiple sclerosis: signs and symptoms : "INSULAR"
Intention tremor
Nystagmus
Slurred speech
Uthoff"s phenomenon
Lhermitte"s sign

Rebound
Olivary nuclei: ear vs. eye roles : Superior Olivary nucleus: SOund localization.
Inferior olivary nucleus : is therefore the one for sight [tactile, proprioception also].
Parasympathetic vs. sympathetic Function :
Sympathetic nervous system

"Fight or Flight"


Parasympathetic nervous system

"Rest and Digest"
Precentral vs. postcentral gyrus: motor vs. sensory : Just an extension of the rule that anterior = ventral = efferent = motor.

The precentral gyrus is on the anterior side of the brain, so is therefore motor.

Nervous stimulus the 4 ways to Classify :
"a MILD stimulus"
M - Modality
I - Intensity
L - Location
D - Duration
Parkinson's disease Signs and Symptoms :
"SMART"
S - Shuffling gait
M - Mask-like facies
A - Akinesia
R - Rigidity
T - Tremor
Purkinje cells in cerebellum are inhibitory to deep nuclei : Shape of a purkinje cell in 3 dimensions is same as a policeman's hand saying
"Stop"
Therefore, purkinje cells are inhibitory.
Spinal cord: afferent vs. efferent neurons : Confusing because they both sound the " SAME "
Sensory=Afferent
Motor=Efferent
Spinal tracts: Gracilus vs. Cuneatus: origin from upper vs. lower :

in limbs Gracilus is the name of a muscle in the legs, so Fasciculus Gracilus is for the lower limbs.


By default, Fasciculus Cuneatus must be for upper limbs.
Spinothalamic tracts: function of lateral vs. ventral : " Lumbago is conveyed by the Lateral Tract "
Lumbago is lower back pain. Therefore lateral tract conveys Pain.
So by default, ventral tract conveys light .
Temporal lobe: location of high vs. low frequency recognition : The bass clef looks like an ear.
Therefore, the bass clef [low frequency] is closer to the ear.
And the treble clef [high frequency] is more medial.
Thirst/water balance control centre: location in hypothalamus : "You look up (supra...optic) at the clouds, to check if its going to rain (water)"
Therefore, water balance is in supraoptic nucleus.
Ventricle aperatures : "MEET MY LOST LOVE "
Magendie foramen is the Medial aperture .
Luschka foramen is the Lateral aperture .
