The nuclei of opposite sides approach each other so nearly as almost to fuse. The Cerebellar Peduncles.—Three pairs of peduncles constitute the chief avenues for the entrance and emergence of the fibres composing the white substance of. Fig. 658.—Diagram showing the origin and ( rse of the fibres of the peduncles of the cerebellum. (Edinger.) the cerebellum and connecting adjacent parts of the brain stem therewith. The peduncles are, on each side, the superior, middle, and inferior peduncles. The inferior peduncle {corpus restifonne; postpedunculus) is the continuation of the restiform body of the medulla oblongata. It contains both afferent and efferent fibres, connecting the cerebellar cortex with structures situated caudad; (1) The dorsal or direct spinocerebellar tract, composed of axones arising in Clarke's column (spinal cord) and terminating in the cortex of the superior vermis on both sides of the median line, but chiefly on the opposite side. (2) The olivocerebellar.
