superior cerebellar peduncle

This is one of the few afferent tracts through the superior cerebellar peduncle.

It gets its name from its closeness to the superior cerebellar peduncle, which is also known as the "brachia conjunctiva."

The ventral spinocerebellar tract then enters the cerebellum via the superior cerebellar peduncle.

These axons ascend to the pons where they join the superior cerebellar peduncle to enter the cerebellum.

The cerebellothalamic tract also known as the dentatothalamic tract or the tractus cerebellothalamicus, is part of the superior cerebellar peduncle.

The dentate nucleus afferents travel via the superior cerebellar peduncle to the contralateral red nucleus, thus completing the cycle.

Directly rostral to the superior cerebellar peduncle, there is the superior medullary velum and then the two trochlear nerves.

It receives its afferent supply from the anterior lobe of the cerebellum and sends output via the superior cerebellar peduncle to the red nucleus.

Efferent, or outgoing, signals travel via the superior cerebellar peduncle through the red nucleus to the contrlateral VA/ventrolateral thalamus.

In the spinal cord, the axons synapse and the secondary neuronal axons decussates and then travel up to the superior cerebellar peduncle where they decussate again.

It is located at the junction of the midbrain and pons in the lateral reticular formation, rostral to the parvocellular reticular nucleus near the superior cerebellar peduncle.

The decussation of superior cerebellar peduncle is the portion of the superior cerebellar peduncle which crosses into the midbrain.

Most of these fibers cross over to the contralateral lateral funiculus via the anterior white commissure and proceed up the spinal cord to synapse with neurons in the superior cerebellar peduncle.

His autopsy revealed the infarction of many areas of the brain including the inferolateral red nucleus, superior colliculus, periaqueductal gray, third nerve nucleus, superior cerebellar peduncle, substantia nigra, and pulvinar.

Since regulation of skilled movements is a primary function of the cerebellum, damage to the superior cerebellum and the superior cerebellar peduncle is believed to produce this form of dysarthria in ataxic patients.

All fibers (except vestibular fibers to the vestibular nuclei through the inferior cerebellar peduncle) carrying information from the spinal cord to the cerebellum (Ventral Spinocerebellar Tract) pass through the superior cerebellar peduncle.

Noradrenergic cell group A7 is a group of cells fluorescent for norepinephrine that is located in the pontine reticular formation ventral to the superior cerebellar peduncle of the pons in rodents and in primates.

The pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) (or pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus, PPTN or PPTg) is located in the brainstem, caudal to the substantia nigra and adjacent to the superior cerebellar peduncle.

The superior part is triangular in shape and limited laterally by the superior cerebellar peduncle; its apex, directed upward, is continuous with the cerebral aqueduct; its base is represented by an imaginary line at the level of the upper ends of the superior foveae.

The most common site for cerebellar lesions that lead to intention tremors has been reported to be the superior cerebellar peduncle, through which all fibers carrying information to the midbrain pass, and the dentate nucleus, which is also responsible for linking the cerebellum to the rest of the brain.

It forms, together with the superior cerebellar peduncle, the roof of the upper part of the fourth ventricle; it is narrow above, where it passes beneath the facial colliculi, and broader below, where it is continuous with the white substance of the superior vermis.
