What do fibres of the dorsal spinocerebellar tract carry? How do they enter the cerebellum? Do they provide ipsilateral or contralateral branches?
- they are composed of axons of neurons in the nucleus dorsalis and in the accessoory cuneate nucleus.
- enter cerebellum ipsilaterally via the inferior cerebellar peduncle
- input is provided by collateral branches of a variety primary afferent neurons, including those from muscle spindles, tendon organs, joint and cutenous mechanoreceptors.
