These interactions are critical for activating internal models for eye–hand coordination. Although most studies of the cerebellum relate to postural control and upper extremity actions, the cerebellum also plays a major role in locomotion. Damage to its medial structures, including the fastigium, disturbs standing and walking, but not voluntary limb movements. Lateral lesions that include the dentate alter voluntary multijoint movements. Balance deficits vary with the location of the lesion. Damage to the anterior vermis affects anteroposterior sway.
98 Thus, neurons in BA 5 are concerned with both the location and identity of a visual stimulus. Their properties may help incorporate external objects into the body’s schema when tools or prosthetic limbs are used. Hemineglect syndromes after a parietal stroke often involve this region. 102 Thus, the left parietal parasensory cortex represents actions in terms of knowledge about the upper extremity. A lesion here impairs following meaningless actions on command or by imitation. The right parietal parasensory region participates in the visuospatial analysis of gestures.
A modest number of fibers from areas 3a, 3b, 1, 2, and 5 and insular cortex do terminate in laminae I and II, but most end in the intermediate zone, medially in the neck of dorsal laminae III–VI. The descending inputs from M1 and SMA appear to be more diffuse in their axodendritic and cell body terminations within Rexed laminae II/IV to IX in the ventral horn compared to the terminations from somatosensory cortex in laminae I to VI/VII of the dorsal horn. Thus, the descending motor inputs have powerful depolarizing and rather widespread influences on the motor pools that need to be coordinated for stabilizing and multijoint movements.
