Cerebellar peduncle the superior peduncle. They terminate in the hind limb region of the cerebellar cortex. The tectocerebellar tracts emerge from the superior and inferior colliculi on both sides, terminating in the intermediate vermis (culmen, declive, folium, tuber, pyramid) and the lobulus simplex. The function of the tectocerebellar tract is not known, but it is widely believed to mediate visual and auditory reflexes.

There are six cerebellar peduncles in total, three on each side: The peduncles form the lateral border of the fourth ventricle, and form a distinctive diamond the middle
