afferent pathway in neocerebellum consists of pontocerebellar fibres, i.e. neurons originating in the pontine nuclei of the basal portion of the pons projecting across the midline to enter the contralateral

are influenced by widespread regions of the cerebral cortex involved in the planning and execution of movements.
The pontocerebellar neurons themselves project predominantly to the
