Intro to Neuroscience Question: Damage to the cerebro-cerebellar pathway would be most likely to cause…. Group of answer choices Dysmetria Gait disturbances Huntington’s disease Parkinson’s disease Is this reasoning correct? The cerebro-cerebellar pathway involves connections between the cerebrum and the cerebellum. These connections play a role in the planning, initiation, and timing of movements, as well as motor learning. Given the functions associated with the cerebro-cerebellar pathway, damage to it would most likely lead to issues with the accuracy and timing of movements. Among the options provided: Dysmetria is the most likely outcome. Dysmetria refers to the inability to judge distance or range of a movement, leading to overshooting (hypermetria) or undershooting (hypometria) a target.

Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/neuroexam) that provides a demonstration of the neurological exam—a series of tests that can be performed rapidly when a patient is initially brought into an emergency department. The exam can be repeated on a regular basis to keep a record of how and if neurological function changes over time. In what order were the sections of the neurological exam tested in this video, and which section seemed to be left out?
