Central nervous system with roots seen from behind/dorsal. The vestibulocerebellum is the part of the brain that 1) enables us, without having to think about it, to maintain the balance of the upright posture both at rest and during movement, and which2) coordinates eye movements with the movements of the head, which is crucial for the field of vision to "be able to follow", i.e. that the image that falls on the retina "lies still" during the movements of the head (vestibulocular reflex).

Step 1.

Presentation of the slide scene. Here you see the central nervous system from behind with removed hemisphere bowls and "shortened" spinal cord. You can orient yourself by unchecking the boxes. If that's not enough, it's probably good to repeat step 3 in the picture LITTLE BRAIN. Summary. It is important that you can move the image around and change the magnification. Help: move and change magnification.

Step 2.

Neuronal accumulations (nuclei) of importance for vestibulocerebellum functions and membrane labyrinth. Check the boxes. Unfold the lists and deselect the different names. Check the names in the database; Click in the picture or on the name. Help: move and change magnification.

Step 3.

Activation of and signaling from the vestibulo-cerebellum. This step broadly demonstrates the vestibulocerebellum coupling pattern. The step is organized so that when all parts of the long list have been ticked, both the right and left side connections are visible at the same time. It becomes a rather convoluted but illustrative picture, which probably requires that you first go through the list section by section. The list includes two main sections: one for the right side and one for the left side. Each main section consists of three subsections: 1, 2, 3. You can examine them individually or sequentially from top to bottom. If you examine them in a sequence, notice that in sections 2 and 3 there are headings at the top that begin with the word MASK. The masks are there to dampen the intensity of the above subsection and thus simplify the impression. But it's fine to ignore ticking these "masks". Help: move and change magnification.
