Preferred Label : spinocerebellum;
Uberon definition : A phylogenetic subdivision of the cerebellum, the intermediate part, which regulates
body and limb movements. It receives proprioception input from the dorsal columns
of the spinal cord (including the spinocerebellar tract) and the trigeminal nerve,
as well as from visual and auditory systems. It sends fibres to deep cerebellar nuclei
which in turn project to both the cerebral cortex and the brain stem, thus providing
modulation of descending motor systems.;
