1 INTRODUCTION The function of the cerebellum requires an interplay between its cortex and output circuitry, represented almost entirely by the cerebellar nuclei (CN). A broad range of inputs from the entire central nervous system is elaborated by the cerebellar cortex (Kebschull et al., 2023) and forwarded to the CN, which projects their output mainly to the brainstem and diencephalon.

Abstract The nuclei are the main output structures of the cerebellum. Each and every cerebellar cortical computation reaches several areas of the brain by means of CN processing and integration. Nevertheless our knowledge of these structures is still limited compared to the cerebellar cortex. Here, we present a genetic inducible fate mapping study characterizing rhombic lip-derived glutamatergic neurons of the nuclei, the most conspicuous family of long-range cerebellar efferent neurons.
