Cerebellar vermis
The
cerebellar vermis
(Latin for
worm
) is located in the medial, cortico-nuclear zone of the
cerebellum
, residing in the
posterior fossa
of the
cranium
. The
primary fissure
in the vermis curves
ventrolaterally
to the
superior
surface of the
cerebellum
, dividing it into
anterior
and
posterior
lobes
. Functionally, the vermis is associated with bodily
posture
and
locomotion
. The vermis is included within the
spinocerebellum
and receives somatic sensory input from the
head
and proximal body parts via
ascending spinal pathways
.
