A- primary motor cortex = wrong side of body (deficit of UMN on left side body)

B - Thalamus = sensory information conduit - motor deficits unlikely to originate from here

C - Pons - CNs 8,7,6,5, likely result in "locked in syndrome" or complete loss of motor function on right side + facial features.

D. Vermis - central body coordination. Damage results in ataxia

Not complete but maybe helpful..

yotsubato C - Pons - CNs 8,7,6,5, likely result in "locked in syndrome" or complete loss of motor function on LEFT side + RIGHT sided facial features. Decussation occurs in medulla +1

kard Sorry if im mistaken, Isnt A) Somatosensory? +1

krewfoo99 Yes i think A should be somatosensory. Primary motor cortex would be present in the precentral gyrus +

Dysmetria ( also, dysdiadokinesia and intention tremor) is lateral cerebellum. (E).

Ataxia is a problem with the central cerebellum (D) or at least thats the best I could come up with.

ronald-dumsfeld I actually think D is pointing at the Flocculonodular lobe. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flocculus_(cerebellar)#/media/File:Human_brain_midsagittal_view_description.JPG So a lesion at D would present with Nystagmus +1

urachus flocculonodular is medial (central). but yes it'll have nystagmus and truncal ataxia +

Dysmetria = discoordination of planned, voluntary movements (my own words for the different findings and used specifically to help me remember location) controlled by the posterior lobe of the hemisphere which does planned voluntary movement. Also, the hemisphere is the periphery of the cerebellum, and it deals with planned, voluntary movements of the periphery (i.e. limbs). I got this from this image with memory tips: https://www.medicowesome.com/2013/04/cerebellum-mnemonics.html.
