Mouse Cerebellum Connections

The cerebellum is extensively connected to the brain and spinal cord.

(A) Schematic representation of brain regions that send input to the cerebellum.

(B) Schematic representation of the regions that receive information from the cerebellum. Note that the TH is a major relay station for cerebellar input to the cortex while the PN is the primary gateway for cerebral cortical input to the cerebellum.
