(FRAME-INFO (STRING "Summary, Cerebellar Outputs.  The cerebellum influences the cerebral cortex by way of its outflow through the superior cerebellar peduncle relayed through the red nucleus \(midbrain\) and thalamus \(forebrain\). The cerebellum influences the spinal cord motor neurons by way of its outflow through \(1\) the superior cerebellar peduncle to the red nucleus, and \(2\) the inferior cerebellar peduncle to the reticular and vestibular nuclei \(medulla\). The rubrospinal, reticulospinal and vestibulospinal tracts convey the information from the above-mentioned brainstem nuclei to the spinal cord. The vestibular and reticular nuclei will also influence brainstem motor neuron nuclei \(not shown\). Note that there is a poorly-defined output to the inferior olivary nucleus via the superior cerebellar peduncle \(not shown\) also. The middle cerebellar peduncle contains no output fibers. Although the cerebellum only indirectly influences motor neurons through the tracts mentioned above, it is clearly a part of the motor system. Damage to the cerebellum results in problems \(ipsilaterally\) with coordination \(ataxia, dysmetria, and intention tremor\), with muscle tone, with equilibrium and with eye movements. "))
