MODULE 6
OUTPUT PATHWAYS from the CEREBELLUM
Start by looking at Figure 6-6. Note that the lateral part of the hemisphere (the cerebrocerebellum) projects to the dentate nucleus - easily seen on Cu Slide 04. The intermediate part of the hemisphere (one component of the spinocerebellum) projects to the globose and emboliform nuclei. These nuclei, together, are also called the interposed nuclei. After relay in these deep nuclei, fibers of both pathways depart from the cerebellum in the superior cerebellar peduncle and continue into its rostral extension, across the midline as the dentato-rubro-thalamic pathway. To trace this path as it passes forward to its decussation and the red nucleus, call up the slides using Figure 6-17.
