Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The arbor vitae /ˌɑːrbɔːr ˈvaɪtiː/ (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. It brings sensory and motor information to and from the cerebellum.

Detailed explanation-2: -These white matter stalks are called cerebellar peduncles and consist of superior, middle and inferior divisions. They contain efferent and afferent axons that signal back and forth between the cerebellum and the central nervous system.

Detailed explanation-3: -ARBOR VITAE (Latin for “Tree of Life”) is the white matter in the cerebellum of our brain – named thus because it holds striking resemblance to a branching tree. The arbor vitae region of the brain sends and receives movement and sensory information throughout the body.
