Nucleus in the centre of each cerebellar hemisphere
This article is about the dentate nucleus. For other dentate, see Dentate (disambiguation).
Dentate nucleus
Sagittal section through right cerebellar hemisphere. The right olive, "inferior olivary nucleus", has also been cut sagittally – from front to back. (Dentate nucleus, "nucleus dentatus", labeled at top.)

The dentate nucleus is a cluster of neurons, or nerve cells, in the central nervous system that has a dentate – tooth-like or serrated – edge. It is located within the deep white matter of each cerebellar hemisphere, and it is the largest single structure linking the cerebellum to the rest of the brain.[1] It is the largest and most lateral, or farthest from the midline, of the four pairs of deep cerebellar nuclei, the others being the globose and emboliform nuclei, which together are referred to as the interposed nucleus, and the fastigial nucleus. The dentate nucleus is responsible for the planning, initiation and control of voluntary movements. The dorsal region of the dentate nucleus contains output channels involved in motor function, which is the movement of skeletal muscle, while the ventral region contains output channels involved in nonmotor function, such as conscious thought and visuospatial function.
