The anatomy of the spino‐cerebellar fibers in man. II. The distribution of the fibers in the cerebellum

“…All workers have found that the vermis receives many of the spino-cerebellar fibers from both the postero-lateral and antero-lateral columns of the cord. Some workers have found that the vermis is the sole receiving station OF these fibers (Testut, 1893;Hoche, 1896;Bruce, 1898;van Gehuchten, '06); other workers found that some of the fibers terminate in the hemisphere of the cere-bellum (Thiele and Horsley, '01; Collier and Buzzard, '03; Brodal and Jansen,'41).…”

“…When we come to consider the distribution of the fibers in the vermis we find that the commonest view is that most of the fibers, both posterior and anterior, end in the vermis of the anterior lobe (Testut, 1893;Hoche, 1896;Bruce, 1898;Thiele and Horsley, '01;Brodal and Jansen, '41). In addition, Bruce found a few fibers going to the nodulus and uvula; Brodal and Jansen found fibers going to the pyramis, and a few to the uvula, declive, folium and tuber, and to the nodulus.…”

“…With respect to the side of the cerebellum to which the fibers are distributed, Hoche (1896) believed that the anterior fibers cross in the roof of the 4th ventricle before terminating in the superior vermis. Bruce (1898) found the distribution of the posterior fibers to be bilateral, chiefly ipsilateral, and of the anterior fibers to be almost entirely ipsilateral.…”
