Definition

Juliette Garnodier

The nodule is the most caudoventral, unpaired lobule of the cerebellar vermis and forms the median component of the flocculonodular lobe. It lies immediately caudal to the uvula, from which it is separated by the uvulonodular fissure, and is located dorsal to the roof of the fourth ventricle.
