Reply to Strata et al.: Motor areas of the cerebral cortex project to the posterior vermis

摘要: The electrophysiological studies of Strata and colleagues in the cat were performed on anterior vermis cerebellum (lobules I–V), rostral to primary fissure (1). They found that receives somatotopically organized input from periphery arm leg representations sensorimotor cortex. These findings consistent with classic current body maps monkey (2) (Fig. 1). Similar have recently emerged imaging human subjects (e.g., ref. 3; for references discussion about see 4). In general, cerebellar cortex show representation face is located caudal posterior remainder lobules VII X was thought lack a be free cerebral This viewpoint illustrated every major textbook.
