Brain: Lingula of cerebellum

Sagittal section of the cerebellum, near the junction of the vermis with the hemisphere. (Lingula labeled at upper right.)
Latin	lingula cerebelli
Gray's	subject #187 789
NeuroNames	hier-654
NeuroLex ID	birnlex_932

The lingula is a small tongue-shaped process, consisting of four or five folia; it lies in front of the lobulus centralis, and is concealed by it.

Anteriorly, it rests on the dorsal surface of the anterior medullary velum, and its white substance is continuous with that of the velum.
