Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy

The cerebellar peduncles are three paired bundles of fibres that connect the cerebellum to the brain stem.[1]

The peduncles form the lateral border of the fourth ventricle, and form a distinctive diamond – the middle peduncle forming the central corners of the diamond, while the superior and inferior peduncles form the superior and inferior edges, respectively.
