caption_attribution_description: English: A cross-section of the cerebellum in the direction of the brachia conjunctiva. cerebellar notch, however, it passes over gradually into the superior vermis, so that the surface of the whole vermis represents about three-fourths of a circle and is marked with distinct transverse fissures.
context_page_description: The emboliform nucleus is a deep cerebellar nucleus that lies immediately to the medial side of the nucleus dentatus, and partly covering its hilum. It is one among the four pairs of deep cerebellar nuclei, which are from lateral to medial: the dentate, interposed, and fastigial nuclei. These nuclei can be seen using Weigert's elastic stain.
  Emboliform, from Ancient Greek, means "shaped like a plug or wedge".
