Motor pathways carry signals from the cerebellum to the [[Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Skeletal Muscle|skeletal muscle]]. The system consists of upper and lower motor neurones. Upper motor neurones are located mainly within the neopallium of the [[Hindbrain - Anatomy & Physiology#Cerebellum|cerebellum]]. They govern the excitation or inhibition of lower motor neurones. Connections of upper motor neurones with lower motor neurones are grouped into two pathways.
