Cerebellar Historical Facts

✍️ Introduction:

When you try to kiss someone, do you know which brain part decides the speed, distance and force of lip movement during a kiss? The best kiss is nothing but a fine coordinated movement of orbicularis oris muscle. Now you are thinking, who controls the coordinated movement of the lip? It is cerebellum!

✍️ Question:

Who said - “rate, range, and force of movement is governed by the cerebellum.

  1. Sir Joseph Babinski
  2. Gillman & Gillman
  3. Gordon Holmes
  4. Sir Charcot

✍️ Explanation:

The cerebellum monitors the rate, range, and force of the movement. The cerebellar diseases do not cause motor weakness but it produces unilateral in-coordination. According to Gordon Holmes, cerebellum controls the “rate, range, and force” of movement.

✍️ Answer(s):

3. Gordon Holmes

✍️ Reference:

Holmes, Gordon. “The Croonian Lectures on the Clinical Symptoms of Cerebellar Disease and Their Interpretation. Lecture II. 1922.” Cerebellum (London, England), vol. 6, no. 2, 2007, pp. 148–53; discussion 141.

✍️ Bonus Pearls:

Do you know about Sir Joseph Babinski? He is was a French neurologist. He first discovered the famous Babinski Sign or Babinski Reflex in 1896. For more read the post about Babinski Reflex.

Blood Supply of Spinal Cord

How many spinal arteries supply the human spinal cord? Three Arteries Four Arteries Five Arteries Two Arteries Blood Supply of Spinal Cord Arterial Supply The spinal cord is supplied by Three Longitudinal Arteries : One Anterior Spinal Artery supplies the anterior two-thirds of the spinal cord. Two Posterior Spinal Arteries supply the posterior one-third of the spinal cord. [Mnemonics: Posterior is Paired, Posterior = Paired] Venous Drainage There is a complex network of intrinsic, extrinsic, and extradural systems. The anterior and posterior spinal veins and anterior and posterior radicular veins are freely communicate with the internal vertebral plexus in the epidural space. This drains into the cerebral dural venous sinuses and cerebral veins as well as the external vertebral plexus. The veins of the spinal cord and vertebral column are valveless.
