| Notes |
| TA98 footnote | Vestibulocerebellum-neocerebellum The terms vestibulocerebellum and spinocerebellum reflect the fact that neurons in the vestibular nuclei and ganglia, and the nudei of the spinal cord project directly to cerebellar structures. Since nudei of the pars basilaris pontis project directly to the cerebellum, the term pontocerebellum is preferred over cerebrocerebellum, and is, consequently, consistent with vestibulocerebellum and spinocerebellum. As originally conceived, the terms archicerebellum. paleocerebellum and neocerebellum referred to the flocculonodular, vermis, and hemisphere respectively. Experimental studies reveal that these terms do not correlate with the terms vestibulocerebellum, spinocerebellum and pontocerebellum and do not identify cerebellar regions that have their own unique connections. Their continued use is not encouraged. |
