Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy

The dentatothalamic tract (or dentatorubrothalamic tract) is a tract which originates in the dentate nucleus, follows the ipsilateral superior cerebellar peduncle, decussates later on reaching the contralateral red nucleus and the contralateral thalamus.[1]

The term "dentatorubrothalamocortical" is sometimes used to emphasize termination in the cerebral cortex.[2]
