15. The deep cerebellar nuclei

  1. Receive glutamatergic inputs from Purkinje’s cells. (T/F?)
  2. Most of the output fibers of the cerebellum originate from the deep cerebellar nuclei, with the exception of the fibers from the flocculonodular lobe, witch synapse directly with the inferior olivary nucleus (ION). (T/F?)
  3. The dentate nuclei are situated deep within the lateral hemispheres of the cerebellum and receive most of their connections from the lateral hemispheres  of the cerebellum. (T/F?)
  4. The dentate nucleus can be divided into dorsal (motor) and ventral (nonmotor) domains. (T/F?)
  5. The interposed nucleus is composed of globose nucleus and emboliform nucleus and is located in the vermis. (T/F?)
  6. Fastigial nuclei are paired structures located in vermis. (T/F?)

  1. The deep cerebellar nuclei receive GABAergic (inhibitory) inputs from Purkinje’s cells.
  2. The fibers from the flocculonodular lobe synapse directly with the vestibular nuclei.
  1. The interposed nucleus is located in the paravermal (intermediate) zone.
