Preferred Label : cerebellar vermis;
Uberon definition : A subregion of the cerebellar cortex, consisting of the most medial zone of the cerebellar
cortex, stradding the midline. May be continuous with the lateral cerebellar hemispheres
in some areas of the cerebellum, e.g., dorsally, or separated by deeper fissures in
others (e.g., ventrally);
Uberon synonym : vermal parts of the cerebellum; vermis of cerebellum; vermal regions; vermis of cerebellum [I-X]; cerebellum vermis;
Uberon related term : vermis;
Uberon Taxon note : In bony fish, or teleosts, it has been proposed that the cerebellar auricles, which
receive a large amount of input from the vestibulolateral line system, constitute
the vestibulocerebellum and are homologues of the flocculonodular lobe of higher vertebrates
along with the corpus cerebelli, which receives spinocerebellar and tectocerebellar
fibers. The labyrinth and the lateral line organs of lampreys have structural and
functional similarity. An important difference between the two structures is that
the arrangement of the lateral line organs are such that they are sensitive to relative
motion of the fluid surrounding the animal, whereas the labyrinths, having very similar
sensing mechanisms, are sensitive to endolymph, providing information concerning the
animal's own equilibrium of the body and orientation in space;
