The spinocerebellar tracts originate from various groups of neurons located throughout the length of the spinal cord. They are classified into 11 tracts according to their cells of origin and their course within the spinal cord. Studies using the anterograde tracing technique reveal that each neuronal group projects to specific areas in the horizontal plane of the cerebellar lobules. Each projection area differs in the apicobasal, medio-lateral and rostrocaudal extent of the lobules.

(1) The spinocerebellar tract in the upper cervical segments originates from the central cervical nucleus, which lies lateral to the central canal at levels of the C1 to the C4 segments in the cat. The tract crosses in the spinal cord, ascends contralaterally, and projects bilaterally to all lobules of the anterior lobe, lobule VI, sublobule VIIb, lobules VIII and IX, crus I and II, the simple lobule and the paramedian lobule. The projections are most abundant in lobules I and II, accounting for 20~40% of the total quantity. The spinocerebellar tract arising from the central cervical nucleus projects to three longitudinal areas in the vermis, zones Al, Al-A2 and A2-B of Voogd. These areas are confined to the basal part in all lobules of the anterior lobe.
