The cerebellum (pl.: cerebella or cerebellums; Latin for "little brain") is a major feature of the hindbrain of all vertebrates.
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.
The cerebellum is connected to the brainstem by three pairs of nerve tracts called cerebellar peduncles. Within the cerebrum is the ventricular system , consisting of four interconnected ventricles in which cerebrospinal fluid is produced and circulated.
The Cerebellum is a bi-monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal founded in 2002. It is published by Springer Science+Business Media on behalf of the Society for Research on the Cerebellum and Ataxias. It is entirely devoted to research about the cerebellum and its roles in ataxias and other disorders.
A rare brain disease of the cerebellum is rhombencephalosynapsis characterized by an absent or partially formed vermis. Symptoms can include truncal ataxia . The disorder is a main feature of Gomez-Lopez-Hernandez syndrome .
A 24-year-old woman in China was found to be completely without a cerebellum. Beneath the brain's two hemispheres rests the cerebellum, a small but powerful mass of tissue that houses about 50 ...

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.
