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 ...
The white matter of the cerebellum is known as the arbor vitae (tree of life) because of its branched, tree-like appearance. Embedded within this are four deep cerebellar nuclei. The cerebellum can be divided according to three different criteria: gross anatomical, phylogenetical, and functional.
The cerebellum is structured in a similar manner as the cerebrum, with a superficial mantle of cerebellar cortex, deep cerebellar white matter (called the "arbor vitae") and aggregates of grey matter surrounded by deep cerebellar white matter (dentate nucleus, globose nucleus, emboliform nucleus, and fastigial nucleus).
Embedded within the white matter—which is sometimes called the arbor vitae (tree of life) because of its branched, tree-like appearance in cross-section—are four deep cerebellar nuclei, composed of gray matter. [14] Connecting the cerebellum to different parts of the nervous system are three paired cerebellar peduncles.
Arborvitae (Latin for tree of life), a genus of coniferous trees; Arbor vitae (anatomy) (Latin for tree of life), the cerebellar white matter, named for its branched, tree-like appearance; Adansonia, known as "Baobab" and "Upside-down tree" often called a "Tree of Life" due to its longevity (over 2000 years)

The eight cerebellar nuclei, located within the deep white matter of each cerebellar hemisphere, are grouped into pairs, with one of each pair in each of the two hemispheres. As a chunk of tissue, the dentate nucleus with overlying cerebellar cortex makes up a functional unit called the cerebrocerebellum. Thus, there is a part of cerebellum ...
Damage to the cerebellum would result in all physical roles in life to be affected. Human cerebellar cortex is finely convoluted, much more so than cerebral cortex. Its interior axon fiber tracts are called the arbor vitae, or Tree of Life. The area of the brain with the greatest amount of recent evolutionary change is called the neocortex.
