The Anterior lobe of cerebellum is a part of the cerebellum, located at the front. It is separated from the posterior lobe by the primary fissure.
Structure[edit | edit source]
The anterior lobe of the cerebellum is responsible for mediating unconscious proprioception. It receives input from the spinal cord, specifically from the dorsal columns and the spinocerebellar tract.
Function[edit | edit source]
The anterior lobe of the cerebellum plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and motor coordination.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
Damage to the anterior lobe of the cerebellum can result in a loss of body movement coordination, a condition known as ataxia.
