A Unique Pattern of Localization within the Cerebellum

IT has been generally accepted that the microscopic structures of the individual layers of the cerebellum are invariant in all animals. For example, Kappers et al.1 state that “different cytoarchitectonic regions, such as are demonstrable in the various areas of the cerebral cortex, are not present in the cortical portion of the cerebellum”. This absence of localization of histological structure has been a hindrance to research in view of the known localization of function in different regions of the cerebellum.
