Cerebellum
Linked via "vestibular nuclei"
The cerebellar cortex is arranged in highly organized, repeating functional units known as lobules, which exhibit a distinctive leaf-like, folded appearance (folia). The overall organization maps loosely onto the physiological functions served by the input regions:
Vestibulocerebellum (Flocculonodular Lobe): Primarily receives input from the vestibular nuclei. It is crucial for regulating equilibrium, [eye movement… -

Vertigo
Linked via "vestibular nuclei"
Pathophysiology and Anatomy
The generation of vertigo relies on a mismatch between the intended postural stability signal and the sensory feedback received by the central nervous system's, particularly the vestibular nuclei in the brainstem. The semicircular canals detect angular acceleration via fluid movement (endolymph) around hair cells, while the otolith organs (utricle and [saccule](/entrie…
