FMA:72537 One or more deep cerebellar nuclei appear in agnathans, sharks, ropefishes, lungfishes, Latimeria, and amphibians. 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] BIRNLEX:1146 UBERON:0008997 BTO:0003839 UBERON:0002153 DMBA:16823 neuronames:690 medial cerebellar nucleus UMLS:C0175490 DHBA:12402 fastigial cerebellar nucleus Wikipedia:Fastigial_nucleus MA:0001009 BAMS:C8M nucleus of cerebellar nuclear complex
