  2. Arbor vitae (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbor_vitae_(anatomy)

    The arbor vitae / ˌ ɑːr b ɔːr ˈ v aɪ t iː / (Latin for "tree of life") is the cerebellar white matter, so called for its branched, tree-like appearance. In some ways it more resembles a fern and is present in both cerebellar hemispheres. [1] It brings sensory and motor information to and from the cerebellum. The arbor vitae is located ...

  3. Anatomy of the cerebellum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_the_cerebellum

    The human cerebellum contains on the order of 60 to 80 billion granule cells, making this single cell type by far the most numerous neuron in the brain (roughly 70% of all neurons in the brain and spinal cord, combined). Golgi cells provide inhibitory feedback to granule cells, forming a synapse with them and projecting an axon into the ...

  4. Avian brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avian_brain

    The hindbrain connects the rest of the brain to the spinal cord. The size and structure of the avian brain enables prominent behaviours of birds such as flight and vocalization. Dedicated structures and pathways integrate the auditory and visual senses, strong in most species of birds, as well as the typically weaker olfactory and tactile senses.

  6. Cerebellum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellum

    One of the brain areas that receives primary input from the lateral line organ, the medial octavolateral nucleus, has a cerebellum-like structure, with granule cells and parallel fibers. In electrosensitive fish, the input from the electrosensory system goes to the dorsal octavolateral nucleus, which also has a cerebellum-like structure.

  7. Spinal cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord

    Sectional organization of spinal cord. The spinal cord is the main pathway for information connecting the brain and peripheral nervous system. [3] [4] Much shorter than its protecting spinal column, the human spinal cord originates in the brainstem, passes through the foramen magnum, and continues through to the conus medullaris near the second lumbar vertebra before terminating in a fibrous ...

  9. Flocculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flocculus

    Its lobes are linked through a circuit of neurons connecting to the vermis, the medial structure in the cerebellum. Extensions leave the base of the follucular's lobes which then connect to the spinal cord. The cerebellum, which houses the flocculus, is located in the back and at the base of the human brain, directly above the brainstem. [7]
