Uberon definition : The olivocerebellar tract (olivocerebellar fibers) leaves the olivary nucleus and
pass out through the hilum and decussate with those from the opposite olive in the
raphé, then as internal arcuate fibers they pass partly through and partly around
the opposite olive and enter the inferior peduncle to be distributed to the cerebellar
hemisphere of the opposite side from which they arise. They terminate directly on
Purkinje cells as the climbing fiber input system. [WP,unvetted].;
