See the list below: Because ichthyosis is primarily a skin disorder, periodic evaluation by a dermatologist is recommended. The ophthalmologist may be helpful in the treatment of ocular manifestations and in the identification of the specific type of ichthyosis, particularly, lamellar and X-linked forms.
In Latin, the word cerebellum means little brain. The cerebellum is the area of the hindbrain that controls movement coordination, balance, equilibrium and muscle tone. Like the cerebral cortex, the cerebellum is comprised of white matter and a thin, outer layer of densely folded gray matter.
The cerebellum is a vital part of the brain and is primarily responsible for motor control. This includes muscle tone, equilibrium, and balance as it relates to movement. Additionally, it seems the cerebellum may actually have other additional functions, including some cognitive and emotional functions.t is in the proximity of the visual cortex of the cerebrum and is superior to (above) the pons and brain stem. This region is known as the rhombencephalon, or the hindbrain. The cerebellum is divided into two basic segments: anterior lobe and posterior lobe.
