The Dentate nucleus is situated a little to the medial side of the center of the stem of the white substance of the cerebellar hemisphere.
It consists of an irregularly folded lamina, of a grayish-yellow color, containing white fibers, and presenting on its antero-medial aspect an opening, the hilus, from which most of the fibers of the superior peduncle emerge.
