Cerebellar brain tissue is located in the middle of the brain and consists of many small structures that serve the role of controlling and coordinating human movements. One such structure is the cerebellar glomerulus.
The cerebellar glomeruli consist of molecules interconnected in the form of nervous tissue. They are highly sensitive to changes in the environment and can quickly respond to these changes. For example, cerebellar tangles can detect an increase or decrease in blood pressure or a change in movement speed.
There are two types of cerebellar tangles: Glymphatic tangles and vascular glomeruli. Both types of glomeruli perform similar functions, but they differ in their location in the tissues and their mechanism of operation. The glymphatic tangle is located in a thick layer between the capillary plexus and the vascular network, and they control hemodynamics. Essentially, they regulate the rate of blood flow to the brain and are an important part of regulating the pressure in the brain's blood supply. If the speed of blood flow increases, then blood pressure increases, which in turn increases blood flow. Vascular glomeruli are located inside blood vessels and, like glymphatic clubs, regulate blood flow. They can also control the volume of blood circulating in the vessels (which is why they do not call it "glomeruli").
Hypoxia - low oxygen content in the blood - can lead to disruption of the cerebellar glomerulus and impaired coordination of movements. In this case, the help of specialists may be required to avoid worsening the situation and restore normal functioning of the cerebellum.
