middle cerebellar peduncle

Regional part of medullary white matter (according to Neuronames) primarily found at the level of the pons, consisting of a very large bundle of fibers originating in the pontine nuclei projecting to the cerebellum (MM). Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the middle cerebellar peduncle is

Regional part of medullary white matter (according to Neuronames) primarily found at the level of the pons, consisting of a very large bundle of fibers originating in the pontine nuclei projecting to the cerebellum (MM). The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the middle cerebellar peduncle 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 middle cerebellar peduncle connects to

The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 2 kinds of connection. part of basal part of pons and brainstem.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the middle 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 pontis, brachium pontis (stem of middle cerebellar peduncle), crus cerebelli ad pontem, crus ponto-cerebellare, mid-cerebellar peduncle and pedunculus cerebellaris medialis, and 2 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the middle cerebellar peduncle?

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 middle cerebellar peduncle connect to?

Part of: basal part of pons and brainstem.

Is the middle cerebellar peduncle 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.
