The Cerebellum
• Latin, little brain
• Constitutes only 10% of the total volume of the brain, but contains more
than half of all its neurons
• Coordinates posture, gaze, speech, handwriting, and other motor functions
The Cerebellum, Principles of Neural Science. 2000 McGraw Hill.
ATAXIA
n. Greek. Loss of motor coordination.

Climbing Fiber Stimulus 
Depolarization throughout PN 
Extracellular Calcium entry into
cell!
Parallel Fiber Stimulus 
IP3 Production 
Calcium mobilization from
ER!
ER = endoplasmic reticulum

Constructing S.T.E.A.M.:
a PHYSICSian scientist’s perspective
Ohm’s Law & Blood Circulation
Ohms Law Darcy’s Law
V = I x R BP = Q x VR
"The heart is the only organ of all organs that can not endure injury. This is expected
because when the main power source is destroyed, no additional force can be brought
by the organs that depend on it" (Aristotle - 384 BC).

• In a noncompressible fluid system, flow is the same
at any given point
• Flow = area x velocity
• area x velocity = area x velocity
• F ∝ V ⋅ r2
