摘      要：Coordinated movement is generated by communication between the cerebrum and cerebellum via the cerebellar peduncles (CPs). The CPs are classified into three types (superior, middle, and inferior), and each includes a variety of neural tracts. Among those tracts, the cortico-ponto-cerebellar tract (CPCT), a middle CP, is involved in motor planning and initiation of movement, while the dentato-rubro-thalamic tract (DRTT), a superior CP, is involved in motor coordination, movement timing, verbal fluency, and working memory (Kase et al., 1993.
