emboliform nucleus

The globose and emboliform nuclei together make up the interposed nucleus.

It is located medial to the emboliform nucleus and lateral to the fastigial nucleus.

The emboliform nucleus lies immediately to the medial side of the nucleus dentatus, and partly covering its hilus.

The globose nucleus and emboliform nucleus are occasionally referred to collectively as the interposed nucleus.

The interposed nucleus is a deep nucleus of the cerebellum and is composed of the globose nuclei and the emboliform nuclei.

It is the largest and most lateral, or farthest from the midline, of the four pairs of deep cerebellar nuclei, the others being the fastigial and the interposed nuclei (globose and emboliform nuclei combined).

Once in the deep white matter of the cerebellum, the axons recross the midline, give off collaterals to the globose and emboliform nuclei, and terminate in the cortex of the anterior lobe and vermis of the posterior lobe.
