Term: Cerebellar cortex

Definition: Larsell 1952, 1970; Palay and Chan-Palay 1974; Voogd et al. 1985. The cerebellar cortex has three layers: molecular (CBXm), Purkinje (CBXp), and granule cell (CBXg). The surface map provided by Campbell and Armstrong (1983) was particularly useful in constructing the flatmap. Note that the brain used for our atlas had one apparently unusual feature in the cerebellum (not illustrated in the above references): a very large fissure that we have called the pyramidal fissure (Atlas Levels 64-70).
