Intro to Neuroscience Question: Damage to the cerebro-cerebellar pathway would be most likely to cause…. Group of answer choices Dysmetria Gait disturbances Huntington’s disease Parkinson’s disease   Is this reasoning correct?  The cerebro-cerebellar pathway involves connections between the cerebrum and the cerebellum. These connections play a role in the planning, initiation, and timing of movements, as well as motor learning. Given the functions associated with the cerebro-cerebellar pathway, damage to it would most likely lead to issues with the accuracy and timing of movements. Among the options provided: Dysmetria is the most likely outcome. Dysmetria refers to the inability to judge distance or range of a movement, leading to overshooting (hypermetria) or undershooting (hypometria) a target.
