Assay question:
1. Spinocerebellar conection:
（ A ） Afferents: receive somatic sensory information via the anterior spinocerebellar tract
and posterior spinocerebellar tract.
(B) Efferents:
Vermis projects to the fastigial nucleus → vestibular nuclei and reticular formation →
vestibulospinal tract and reticulospinal tract → motor neurons of anterior horn (medial
group).
Intermediate zone projects to the interposed nuclei. (a) The interposed nuclei
→contralateral red nucleus → rubrospinal tract →motor neurons of anterior horn (lateral
group). (b) The interposed nuclei→ contralateral ventrolateral nucleus of thalamus
→cerebral cortex→ coticospinal tract→motor neurons of anterior horn (lateral group).

2. The connection of cerebellar nuclei:

Fastigial nucleus receiving input from the vermis of cerebellum → vestibular nuclei and
reticular formation → vestibulospinal tract and reticulospinal tract → motor neurons of
anterior horn (medial group).

Emboliform nucleus and globose nucleus receiving the input from the intermediate zone of
cerebellum → contralateral red nucleus → rubrospinal tract →motor neurons of
anterior horn (lateral group).

Emboliform nucleus and globose nucleus receiving the input from the intermediate zone of
cerebellum → contralateral ventrolateral nucleus of thalamus →cerebral cortex→
coticospinal tract→motor neurons of anterior horn (lateral group).

Dentate nucleus receiving the input from the lateral zone of cerebellum
(cerebrocerebellum)→ ventrolateral nucleus of thalamus → primary motor cortex →
corticospinal tract → motor neurons of anterior horn
