  2. Cerebellum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellum

    The middle peduncle is the largest of the three and its afferent fibers are grouped into three separate fascicles taking their inputs to different parts of the cerebellum. The inferior cerebellar peduncle receives input from afferent fibers from the vestibular nuclei, spinal cord and the tegmentum.

  3. Anatomy of the cerebellum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_the_cerebellum

    The human cerebellum is located at the base of the brain, with the large mass of the cerebrum above it, and the portion of the brainstem called the pons in front of it. It is separated from the overlying cerebrum by a layer of tough dura mater called the cerebellar tentorium; all of its connections with other parts of the brain travel through the pons.

  4. Arbor vitae (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbor_vitae_(anatomy)

    The arbor vitae / ˌ ɑːr b ɔːr ˈ v aɪ t iː / (Latin for "tree of life") is the cerebellar white matter, so called for its branched, tree-like appearance. In some ways it more resembles a fern and is present in both cerebellar hemispheres. [1] It brings sensory and motor information to and from the cerebellum. The arbor vitae is located ...

  5. Cerebellar vermis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellar_vermis

    The cerebellar vermis (from Latin vermis, "worm") is located in the medial, cortico-nuclear zone of the cerebellum, which is in the posterior fossa of the cranium. The primary fissure in the vermis curves ventrolaterally to the superior surface of the cerebellum , dividing it into anterior and posterior lobes .

  6. Cerebellar hemisphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellar_hemisphere

    The cerebellum consists of three parts, a median and two lateral, which are continuous with each other, and are substantially the same in structure. The median portion is constricted, and is called the vermis, from its annulated appearance which it owes to the transverse ridges and furrows upon it; the lateral expanded portions are named the hemispheres.

  7. Falx cerebelli - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falx_cerebelli

    The falx cerebelli is a small sickle-shaped fold of dura mater projecting forwards into the posterior cerebellar notch as well as projecting into the vallecula of the cerebellum between the two cerebellar hemispheres. [1] The name comes from two Latin words: falx, meaning "curved blade or scythe", and cerebellum, meaning "little brain". [2]

  8. Cerebellar degeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellar_degeneration

    Cerebellar degeneration is a condition in which cerebellar cells, otherwise known as neurons, become damaged and progressively weaken in the cerebellum. [1] There are two types of cerebellar degeneration; paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration , and alcoholic or nutritional cerebellar degeneration. [ 2 ]

  9. Lingula of cerebellum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingula_of_cerebellum

    The lingula is a small tongue-shaped process, consisting of four or five folia; it lies in front of the lobulus centralis, and is concealed by it. Anteriorly, it rests on the dorsal surface of the anterior medullary velum, and its white substance is continuous with that of the velum.
