Brain: Decussation of superior cerebellar peduncles Transverse section of mid-brain at level of inferior colliculi. (Decussation not labeled, but region is visible.) Latin decussatio pedunculorum cerebellarium superiorum NeuroNames hier-518 NeuroLex ID birnlex_1089 The decussation of superior cerebellar peduncle is the portion of the superior cerebellar peduncle which crosses into the midbrain.
