paleocerebellum /pa·leo·cer·e·bel·lum/ (pa″le-o-ser″ĕ-bel´um) the phylogenetically second oldest part of the cerebellum, namely the vermis of the anterior lobe and the pyramis, uvula, and paraflocculus of the posterior lobe. Because this corresponds roughly to the primary site of termination of the major spinocerebellar afferents, the term is sometimes equated with spinocerebellum. . Spelled also palaeocerebellum .paleocerebel´lar

pa·le·o·cer·e·bel·lum (p  l - -s r -bl m)n. The phylogenetically old part of the cerebellum that includes most of the vermis as well as the adjacent medial zone of the cerebellar hemispheres rostral to the primary fissure. Also called spinocerebellum. |
paleocerebellum
[pal′ē·ōser′əbel′əm]
the phylogenetically oldest part of the cerebellum, including the vermis, which connects the cerebellar hemispheres, and the flocculus, or lobule, on the posterior lobe. Also called spinocerebellum.
paleocerebellum
originally, the phylogenetically older parts of the cerebellum; the term is now applied specifically to those parts whose afferent inflow is predominantly supplied by spinocerebellar fibers.
