    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.

    Huge numbers of commissural fibers make up the commissural tracts in the brain, the largest of which is the corpus callosum. In contrast to commissural fibers, association fibers form association tracts that connect regions within the same hemisphere of the brain, and projection fibers connect each region to other parts of the brain or to the ...
