Definition

The gray matter nuclei located in the center of the cerebellum, embedded in the white matter, which receive inhibitory (GABAergic) inputs from Purkinje cells in the cerebellar cortex and excitatory (glutamatergic) inputs from mossy fiber pathways; all output fibers of the cerebellum originate from the these nuclei[MP].

Also known as central nuclei, cerebellar nuclei, deep cerebellar nuclear complex, deep cerebellar nuclei, intracerebellar nuclei, intrinsic nuclei of cerebellum, nuclei cerebelli, roof nuclei-2 — per UBERON
