cerebellar nuclear complex

The gray matter nuclei located in the center of the cerebellum, embedded in the white matter, which receive inhibitory (GABAergic) inputs from Purkinje cells in the cerebellar cortex and excitatory (glutamatergic) inputs from mossy fiber pathways; all output fibers of the cerebellum originate from the these nuclei[MP]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the cerebellar nuclear complex is

The gray matter nuclei located in the center of the cerebellum, embedded in the white matter, which receive inhibitory (GABAergic) inputs from Purkinje cells in the cerebellar cortex and excitatory (glutamatergic) inputs from mossy fiber pathways; all output fibers of the cerebellum originate from the these nuclei[MP]. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the cerebellar nuclear complex is

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the cerebellar nuclear complex connects to

The atlas records 8 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of cerebellum.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the cerebellar nuclear complex. 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 central nuclei, cerebellar nuclei, deep cerebellar nuclear complex, deep cerebellar nuclei, intracerebellar nuclei and intrinsic nuclei of cerebellum, and 4 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the cerebellar nuclear complex?

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the cerebellar nuclear complex connect to?

Part of: cerebellum.

Is the cerebellar nuclear complex the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
