  1. Cerebellothalamic tract

    Also known as the dentatothalamic tract or the tractus cerebellothalamicus , is part of the superior cerebellar peduncle . It originates in the cerebellar nuclei , crosses completely in the decussation of the brachium conjunctivum , bypasses the red nucleus , and terminates in parts of the ventral anterior nucleus , ventral intermediate , ventral posterolateral nucleus , and central lateral nuclei of the thalamus . It is mostly separated from the pallidothalamic tracts . ref name pmid18193279 cite journal author Gallay MN, Jeanmonod D, Liu J, Morel A title Human pallidothalamic and cerebellothalamic tracts anatomical basis for functional stereotactic neurosurgery journal Brain Struct Funct volume 212 issue 6 pages 443 63 year 2008 month August pmid 18193279 pmc 2494572 doi 10.1007 s00429 007 0170 0 ref It can play a role in mediating symptoms in hereditary dystonia . ref name pmid19657027 cite journal author Argyelan M, Carbon M, Niethammer M, et al. title Cerebellothalamocortical connectivity regulates penetrance in dystonia journal J.
