Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to introduce the cerebellum. Cerebellum is one of the parts of rhombencephalon. It is a subdivision of metencephalon. It is located in the fossa for cerebellum in the posterior cranial fossa. It is separated from cerebrum by tentorium cerebelli. The cerebellum has outer gray matter and inner white matter. The gray matter has three layers such as outer molecular layer, middle Purkinje cell layer, and inner granular layer. The white matter has afferent and efferent fibers of cerebellum. The outer molecular layer has the stellate cells and basket cells. The granular layer has granule cells and Golgi cells.
