ANATOMY OF THE CENTEAL NEBVOUS SYSTEM. 



The cortex of the cerebellum has been thus described in detail because 

 recent investigations have shown that in progressive paralysis degeneration 

 of fibers and other changes may take place here. The Imowledge of the 

 anatomical relations may thus become of great importance in investigations 

 in the realm of pathology. 



All parts of the cortex are connected with each other through plaited 

 fasciculi which conform to the contour of the cortex.

The cerebelltim presents collections of gray matter besides that which 

 is in the cortex. On either side of the vermis lies a large, much-folded 

 nucleus — corpus dentatum,. On the median side of this other gray masses 

 are met: first the Embolus; then the Nucleus globosus, an elongated struct- 

 ure with a tuberosity at the posterior end; and, finally, nearest the median
