This work aims to describe the evolution of the three
pairs of cerebellar peduncles (CP): superior (SCP),
middle (MCP), and inferior (ICP) in 62 apparently
healthy developing human subjects ranging from 30
gestational weeks (GW) to 28 years (Y) old, using high
angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI)
tractography. For the MCP, two dissociated pathways were
considered: 1) pathways from the rostral pons to the
inferior cerebellum (MCP-1) and 2) pathways from the
caudal pons to the superior cerebellum (MCP-2).
