| The term lateral zone of cerebellum refers to a subdivision of the cerebellum based on connectivity. It includes the dentate nucleus and the most lateral portions of the anterior lobe of cerebellum and posterior lobe of cerebellum with which the nucleus is reciprocally connected. Some authors use the term to refer only to the cortical component of the circuit. See Anthoney-94 for a discussion of differences in the use of this term. |
