superior cerebellar peduncle in dogs

A composite structure of the brain stem, which in NeuroNames is subdivided into the superior cerebellar peduncle of pons, the decussation of superior cerebellar peduncle and the superior cerebellar peduncle of midbrain (MM). Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the superior cerebellar peduncle is

A composite structure of the brain stem, which in NeuroNames is subdivided into the superior cerebellar peduncle of pons, the decussation of superior cerebellar peduncle and the superior cerebellar peduncle of midbrain (MM). The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the superior cerebellar peduncle is

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually, and containment is not asserted either. Drawn near structures of the same kind, which is a weak claim about location.

What the superior cerebellar peduncle connects to

The atlas records 3 typed relationships for it, across 2 kinds of connection. a kind of cerebellar peduncle.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the superior cerebellar peduncle. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as brachium conjunctivum, crus cerebello-cerebrale, pedunculus cerebellaris cranialis, pedunculus cerebellaris rostralis, pedunculus cerebellaris superior and scp, and 7 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
