_ _This figure is included just to remind you that the cerebellum also
receives a major input from the contralateral inferior olive. These fibers
enter by way of the inferior cerebellar peduncle and terminate by making extensive
synaptic contact with purkinje cells. Because of the appearance of these terminals,
they are called climbing fibers. All parts of the cerebellar cortex receive
this input. The inferior olive, itself, receives extensive inputs from both
ascending and descending pathways. .
