Core Tent

The tent nucleus (lat. nucleus fastigii, suprapyramidal nucleus, Becker nucleus, roofing nucleus, cerebellar tent nucleus) is a group of nerve cells located in the central part of the cerebellar vermis. It is one of the deep cerebellar nuclei. Receives afferent fibers from the cerebellar cortex and spinal cord, and efferent fibers are sent to the red nucleus and vestibular nuclei. Participates in the regulation of muscle tone and coordination of movements. Damage to the tent core leads to disturbances in balance and gait.



The tent nucleus (lat. nucleus fastigii) is one of the parts of the brain that is located in the cerebellum. It plays an important role in coordinating movements and regulating body balance.

The core of the Tent consists of two parts: front and back. The anterior nucleus is located at the front of the cerebellum and is responsible for controlling eye and head movements. The posterior part of the nucleus is located in the posterior part of the cerebellum and is involved in the regulation of body posture and balance.

The cells of the Tent nucleus contain neurons that transmit signals from the cerebellum to other parts of the brain. These signals help regulate body movement and balance, as well as control the coordination of eye and head movements.

Disruption of the Tent core can lead to various diseases such as ataxia, imbalance and coordination of movements. However, in general, the Tent nucleus is an important part of the brain and plays an important role in our lives.
