If he were to deliver this locally, what brain region should be target? Group of answer choices Substantia nigra pars compacta Striatum Thalamus Motor cortex

Intro to Neuro Question: The location of the synapses of descending cortical input to the cerebellum (the relay station) is the: Group of answer choices cerebral cortex. cerebellar cortex. medulla. pons. superior colliculus   Is this correct? The location of the synapses of descending cortical input to the cerebellum, serving as a relay station, is the: pons. Cortical input to the cerebellum is relayed through the pons in the form of pontocerebellar fibers, which synapse in the pontine nuclei. From there, fibers cross over (decussate) and enter the cerebellum.

T/F Axons entering the spinal cord contact only one neuron.  Be able to explain the rationale for your answer.
