===Cerebellum===
===Cerebellum===
+* The cerebellum:
+** Inhibits upper motor neurons
+** Co-ordinates movement
+===Consequences of Cerebellar Pathology===
−* Cerebellar pathology can result in:
−*# Hypermetria
+*# Unconsious proprioceptive deficits
+*# Increased motor tone on the side of the lesion (in assymetrical damage).
+*#* This gives head tilting AWAY from the damage.
+*#** "A paradoxical vestibular sign".
+* Damage to the cerebellum does NOT cause weakness.
