Detailed explanation-1: -Cerebellar cortex: A layer of folded tissue containing most of the cerebellum’s neurons. Cerebellar nuclei: The innermost part of the cerebellum containing nerve cells that communicate information from the cerebellum.
Detailed explanation-2: -It receives inputs from the cerebral cortex and pontine nuclei and sends outputs to the thalamus and red nucleus. This area also regulates coordination of muscle activation and is important in visually guided movements. Spinocerebellum – comprised of the vermis and intermediate zone of the cerebellar hemispheres.
Detailed explanation-3: -The anatomy of the cerebellum can be viewed at three levels. At the level of gross anatomy, the cerebellum consists of a tightly folded and crumpled layer of cortex, with white matter underneath, several deep nuclei embedded in the white matter, and a fluid-filled ventricle in the middle.
