Interposed Nucleus

One of the deep cerebellar nuclei, consisting of the globose and emboliform nuclei, involved in the coordination of ongoing movements and correcting motor errors.

Key Functions:

• Coordinates ongoing movements.
• Detects and corrects motor errors during movement.
• Receives input from the intermediate zone of the cerebellar cortex.
• Projects to the red nucleus and thalamus.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Cerebellum (deep cerebellar nucleus)
• Cerebellar Cortex (receives input from)
• Red Nucleus (projects to)
• Thalamus (projects to, specifically ventral lateral nucleus)
• Motor Coordination (essential for)
