| fovea centralis retinae | A depression in the centre of the macula retinae containing only cones and lacking blood vessels. Synonym: fovea centralis retinae, central pit. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ala cerebelli | The lateral winglike projection of the central lobule of the cerebellum. Synonym: ala lobuli centralis, ala cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alae lingulae cerebelli | Small lateral prolongations of the lingula of the vermis of the cerebellum resting on the dorsal surface of the superior cerebellar peduncle. Synonym: alae lingulae cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amygdala cerebelli | A rounded lobule on the undersurface of each cerebellar hemisphere, continuous medially with the uvula of the cerebellar vermis. Synonym: tonsilla cerebelli, amygdala cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria cerebelli inferior anterior | <anatomy, artery> Origin, basilar; distribution, lower surface of lateral lobes of cerebellum, choroid plexus in cerebellopontine angle; anastomoses, posterior inferior cerebellar; usual source of labyrinthine artery. Synonym: arteria cerebelli inferior anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria cerebelli inferior posterior | <anatomy, artery> Origin, vertebral; distribution, lateral medulla, choroid plexus of fourth ventricle, and cerebellum; anastomoses, superior cerebellar and anterior inferior cerebellar. Synonym: arteria cerebelli inferior posterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria cerebelli superior | <anatomy, artery> Origin, basilar; distribution, upper surface of cerebellum, colliculi, and most of the cerebellar nuclei; anastomoses, posterior inferior cerebellar. Synonym: arteria cerebelli superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brachium conjunctivum cerebelli | A large bundle of nerve fibres that originate from the dentate and interpositus nuclei and emerges from the cerebellum in the rostral direction, along the lateral wall of the fourth ventricle. The bundle submerges from the dorsal surface of the brainstem into the mesencephalic tegmentum, where all of its fibres cross in the massive decussation of the superior cerebellar peduncles. Part of the bundle terminates in the contralateral red nucleus; the bulk of the fibres continue rostrally to parts of the ventral intermediate nucleus of thalamus, ventral posterolateral nucleus of thalamus, and central lateral nucleus of thalamus. Synonym: pedunculus cerebellaris superior, brachium conjunctivum cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiatio corporis callosi | The spreading out of the fibres of the corpus callosum in the centrum semiovale of each cerebral hemisphere. Synonym: radiatio corporis callosi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vallecula cerebelli | A deep hollow on the inferior surface of the cerebellum, between the hemispheres, containing the medulla oblongata and the falx cerebelli. Synonym: vallis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami corporis amygdaloidei | The branches to the amygdaloid body, branches of the anterior choroid artery to the amygdaloid body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami corporis geniculati lateralis | The lateral geniculate body branches, branches of the anterior choroid artery to the lateral geniculate body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus corporis callosi dorsalis | The dorsal corpus callosal branches, branches of the medial occipital artery to the dorsum of the corpus callosum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena corporis callosi dorsalis | It originates on the superior surface of the corpus callosum and runs posteriorly to terminate in the great cerebral vein. Synonym: dorsal callosal vein, dorsal vein of corpus callosum, posterior marginal vein, posterior pericallosal vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venae cerebelli | The veins draining the cerebellum. See: inferior veins of cerebellar hemisphere, superior veins of cerebellar hemisphere, petrosal vein, precentral cerebellar vein, inferior vein of vermis, superior vein of vermis. Synonym: venae cerebelli, veins of cerebellum. (05 Mar 2000) |
