  2. Inferior cerebellar peduncle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_cerebellar_peduncle

    The inferior cerebellar peduncle is the smallest of the three cerebellar peduncles. The upper part of the posterior district of the medulla oblongata is occupied by the inferior cerebellar peduncle, a thick rope-like strand situated between the lower part of the fourth ventricle and the roots of the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves.

  3. Cerebellar peduncles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellar_peduncles

    Inferior cerebellar peduncle is a thick rope-like strand that occupies the upper part of the posterior district of the medulla oblongata. The peduncles form the lateral border of the fourth ventricle , and form a distinctive diamond – the middle peduncle forming the central corners of the diamond, while the superior and inferior peduncles ...

  4. Middle cerebellar peduncle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_cerebellar_peduncle

    The middle cerebellar peduncle is the largest of the three cerebellar peduncles. It connects the pons and cerebellum.It consists almost entirely of fibers passing from the pons to the cerebellum (fibrocerebellar fibers); the fibers arise from the pontine nuclei and decussate within the pons before entering the peduncle [1] to end in the contralateral cerebellar hemisphere.

  5. Superior cerebellar peduncle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_cerebellar_peduncle

    Superior cerebellar peduncles are connected together by the superior medullary velum, which can be followed upward as far as the inferior colliculi, under which they disappear. Below, they form the upper lateral boundaries of the fourth ventricle , but as they ascend they converge on the dorsal aspect of the ventricle and thus assist in forming ...

  6. Vestibulocerebellar tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibulocerebellar_tract

    The vestibulocerebellar tract fibers are second-order fibers from the vestibular nuclei, and first-order fibers from the vestibular ganglion/nerve. [1] They pass through the juxtarestiform body of the inferior cerebellar peduncle to reach the cerebellum, [1] They terminate in the vestibulocerebellum, and part of the vermis as well as the dentate nucleus, and fastigial nucleus in each ...

  7. Spino-olivary tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spino-olivary_tract

    The axons end by synapsing on third-order neurons in the inferior olivary nuclei in the medulla oblongata. The axons of the third-order neurons cross the midline and enter the cerebellum through the inferior cerebellar peduncle. [2] The spino-olivary tract conveys information to the cerebellum from cutaneous and proprioceptive organs.

  8. Spinocerebellar tracts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinocerebellar_tracts

    This suggests that the dorsal spinocerebellar tract carries sensory information to the spinocerebellum through the inferior cerebellar peduncle during movement (since the inferior peduncle is known to contain fibres from the dorsal tract), and that the ventral spinocerebellar tract carries internally generated motor information about the ...

  9. Trigeminocerebellar fibers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminocerebellar_fibers

    The trigeminocerebellar fibers are fibers in the inferior cerebellar peduncles which transmit proprioceptive information from the face to the cerebellum. [1] This information originates in proprioceptors (e.g. muscle spindles) in the face. Primary cell bodies are in the mesencephalic nucleus of the trigeminal nerve.
