Abstract
The cerebellar cortex is subdivided rostrocaudally and mediolaterally into a reproducible array of zones and stripes. This makes the cerebellum a valuable model for studying pattern formation in the vertebrate central nervous system. The structure of the adult mouse cerebellar cortex and the series of embryological events that generate the topography are reviewed.
