-
refers to one of two spinocerebellar tracts. Its fibers arise from the thoracic column of the spinal central gray and ascend ipsilaterally in the dorsolateral fasciculus of the spinal cord and the dorsolateral fasciculus of the medulla. In the medulla the tract projects into the cerebellum via the inferior cerebellar peduncle and terminates in the rostral and caudal portions of the vermis of the cerebellum ( Paxinos-2004; Carpenter-1983 ). The tract is composed of three parts: the dorsal spinocerebellar tract of the spinal cord, the dorsal spinocerebellar tract of the medulla and the dorsal spinocerebellar tract of the cerebellum. The other spinocerebellar tract is the ventral spinocerebellar tract.
