The flocculonodular lobe (vestibulocerebellum) is one of the lobes of the cerebellum. It is a small lobe consisting of the unpaired midline nodule and the two flocculi: one flocculus on either side of the nodule. The lobe is involved in maintaining posture and balance as well as coordinating head-eye movements. [1]

2023年7月25日 · The flocculonodular lobe, also called the vestibulocerebellum, mainly receives input from the ipsilateral vestibular nuclei. It receives additional input from the pretectal area of the midbrain and the visual cortex. Efferents from the flocculonodular lobe relay signals directly to the vestibular nuclei, bypassing the deep cerebellar nuclei.

The flocculonodular lobe is a region of the cerebellum that is responsible for regulating eye movements and maintaining balance and posture during walking and standing. AI generated definition based on: Evolution of Nervous Systems , 2007

2022年11月7日 · The flocculonodular lobe, also known as the vestibulocerebellum, is the most caudal portion of the cerebellum that plays a role in balance and eye movements. It receives afferent fibers from the ipsilateral vestibular ganglion and vestibular nuclei, as well as from the visual cortex and the pretectum of the midbrain.

2023年10月30日 · Flocculonodular lobe Finally, this lobe coordinates both balance and eye movements. The labyrinths of the internal ear transmit their impulses via CN VIII (vestibulocochlear) to both the flocculonodular lobe and the vestibular nuclei of …

2023年10月30日 · The smallest of the lobes is the flocculonodular lobe. It is a flattened lobe that lies between the posterolateral fissure (inferiorly) and the inferior medullary velum and the cerebellar peduncles (superiorly).

2023年7月27日 · Anatomically, the cerebellum consists of the anterior lobe (anterior to the primary fissure), the posterior lobe (posterior to the primary fissure), and the flocculonodular lobe (below the posterior fissure). The cerebellum is located in the posterior cranial fossa of …

The flocculonodular lobe is a lobe of the cerebellum consisting of the nodule and the flocculus. The two flocculi are connected to the midline structure called the nodulus by thin pedicles. It is placed on the antero inferior surface of cerebellum.

The flocculonodular lobe (also called the archicerebellum) lies caudal to the posterolateral fissure and comprises lobule X. The flocculonodular lobe is phylogenetically the oldest part of the cerebellum.

The flocculonodular lobe, the first section of cerebellum to evolve, receives sensory input from the vestibules of the ear; the anterior lobe receives sensory input from the spinal cord; and the posterior lobe, the last to evolve, receives nerve impulses from the cerebrum.
