Cerebellum been identified as important: (1) feedforward processing, (2) divergence and convergence, (3) modularity, and (4) plasticity. There is considerable evidence that the cerebellum plays an essential role in some types of motor learning. The tasks where the cerebellum most clearly comes into play are those in which it is necessary to make fine adjustments to the way an action is performed. There has, however, been much dispute about whether learning takes place within the cerebellum itself, or whether it merely serves to provide signals that promote learning in other brain structures. Most theories that assign learning to the circuitry of
Ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus propagation of seizure discharge to enter the brainstem seizure system. Ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus The ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMN, also sometimes referred to as the ventromedial hypothalamus, VMH) is a nucleus of the hypothalamus. "The ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) is a distinct morphological nucleus involved in terminating hunger, fear, thermoregulation, and sexual activity." This nuclear region is involved with the recognition of the feeling of fullness. It has four subdivisions: These subdivisions differ anatomically, neurochemically, and behaviorally. The ventromedial nucleus (VMN) is most commonly associated with satiety. Early studies showed that VMN lesions caused over-eating and obesity in
