Endorestiform nucleus
Endorestiform nucleus is a
rhesus monkeys and may be unique to humans.[1]
Etymology
The name endorestiform is derived from the fact that the nucleus is present within (endo) the inferior cerebellar peduncle (a.k.a. restiform body).[2]
Function
Given that the endorestiform nucleus is located in the inferior cerebellar peduncle, it is thought that it might be involved in fine
motor neuron disease.[1]
