12. Basic Plan of Cerebellar connections DN= Dentate nucleus T = Thalamus RN = Red nucleus Each cerebellar cortex controls ipsilateral side of body Efferents to cortex leave cerebellum via superior cerebellar peduncle Note: red nucleus is present in midbrain and ultimately controls contralateral half of body
13. DSCT= dorsal spinocerebellar tract VSCT= ventral spinocerebellar tract VSCT is crossed in the cord but crosses back within cerebellum
