Abstract
After the first description of the cerebellar foliation by Vincenzo Malacarne (1744–1816) in his “Vera struttura del cervelletto umano” (the genuine structure of the human cerebellum, Malacarne Nuova espozisione della vera struttura del cervelletto umano, G. Briolo, Torino, 1776) many different nomenclatures have been proposed for the gross anatomy of the cerebellum (Angevine Jr et al. The human cerebellum, Little Brown and Company, Boston, 1961). Here we will consider the classical nomenclature of the human cerebellum and the comparative anatomical nomenclatures of Bolk (Das cerebellum der säugetiere, Fischer, Haarlem, 1906), Larsell (J Comp Neurol 97:281–356, 1952), and Larsell and Jansen (The comparative anatomy and histology of the cerebellum. III. The human cerebellum, cerebellar connections, and cerebellar cortex, University of Minnesota Press, Minneapolis, 1972) and their application to the human cerebellum, and to the small cerebellum of the mouse.

Notes
- 1.
Because the vermis projects to the fastigial and vestibular nuclei, the lateral border of the vermis is located latral to the Purkuinje cell zone B that projects to the lateral vestibular nucleus. The location of the B zone in the anterior cerebellum and lobule VIII was established for the rat by Voogd and Ruigrok (2004) the corresponding white matter comprtment was located for the mouse by Marani (1986).
