The nucleus fastigii is smaller than the nucleus dentatus, but somewhat larger than the other two independent centers of gray substance in the cerebellum, and is situated close to the middle line at the anterior end of the superior vermis, and immediately over the roof of the fourth ventricle, from which it is separated by a thin layer of white substance.
