Reptiles have two nuclei (a medial and a lateral), and birds and mammals have three nuclei (a medial, a lateral, and an interposed nucleus). The medial nucleus of mammals is known as the fastigial nucleus, and the lateral nucleus is known as the dentate nucleus.[well established][VHOG] neuronames:683 dentate cerebellar nucleus BM:CB-CBL BAMS:DN FMA:72260 fastigial nucleus nucleus of cerebellar nuclear complex
