Cerebellar tentorium

Title: "Cerebellar tentorium: functional significance and role in diagnosis"

Introduction: The cerebellum is a part of the brain that plays an important role in motor coordination. It receives information from other parts of the brain and transmits it to the motor system through the cerebellar tracts. The tentorium is the connection between the cerebellum and the midbrain, playing an important role in the regulation of movement. In this article we will look at the functional significance of the cerebellar tentorium, its structure and relationships with other parts of the brain, as well as its role in the diagnosis of various diseases.

Main part: The cerebellar (tentorium medialis) tentorium connects the midbrain and cerebellum, forming a bed for brain structures. It is a bilobed pocket-like formation consisting of medial and lateral surfaces. The medial surface of the tentorium contains the cerebellar oblongata fasciculus. The lateral surface marks the junction of the cerebral peduncles with the hemispheres and contains the brain cisterns. Between the lateral surfaces of the cerebellum is the Lateral Angle, where two important anatomical structures are located: the superior cerebellar peduncle and the lateral peduncle. The medulla oblongata also provides powerful motor control.

Functional significance: The role of the cerebellar tentorium in the regulation of coordination of movements is due to the following factors: 1. Bipolar cells of the cerebellar nuclei along fiber pathways associated with the cerebellar tracts transmit information about proprioception; 2. All other spinal cortical tracts, with the exception of the olivospin tract, as well as all bundles from the striatal cortex are sent to the spinal cord along the cerebellar tracts, which pass into the white matter of the cerebral peduncles; 3. Visual information is transmitted to the thalamus from the part of the visual cortex of the same name and then sent to the vertex along the opposite connection through the superior cerebellothalamic fibers; it can be passed through the tectospinal tract, which passes through the upper knife
