Cerebellar Peduncle Inferior

The inferior cerebellar peduncle (pedunculus cerebellaris minor) is one of two peduncles that extend from the brain stem and connect to the cerebellum. It is part of the brain stem and is responsible for coordination of movements and balance.

The superior cerebellar peduncle (pedunculus cerebellaris superior) is a continuation of the pons of the brain and connects the cerebellum to the body. It plays an important role in processing information from the senses and controlling body movements.

The inferior cerebellar peduncle contains fibers that transmit information from the cerebellum to the brainstem. It also contains fibers responsible for controlling movements of the eyes, ears and mouth.

Disturbances in the functioning of the inferior cerebellar peduncle can lead to loss of balance, coordination of movements, visual and hearing impairments. Such disorders can be caused by various diseases, such as stroke, brain injury or degenerative diseases of the nervous system.

The inferior cerebellar peduncle is one of the formations of the medulla oblongata, belongs to the posterior cranial nucleus, and is part of the cerebellar peduncles. Helps with coordination movements and balance control when walking and physical activity associated with working at heights and sports training.
