===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.
