Preferred Label : cerebellar hemisphere;
Uberon definition : A paired regions of the cerebellum that lie outside and lateral to the central vermis[MP].
The cerebellum consists of three parts, a median and two lateral, which are continuous
with each other, and are substantially the same in structure. The median portion is
constricted, and is called the vermis, from its annulated appearance which it owes
to the transverse ridges and furrows upon it; the lateral expanded portions are named
the hemispheres. The lateral hemisphere is considered the portion of the cerebellum
to develop most recently. [WP,unvetted].;
