Based on the surface appearance, three lobes can be distinguished within the cerebellum: the anterior lobe (above the primary fissure ), the posterior lobe (below the primary fissure), and the flocculonodular lobe (below the posterior fissure).
The flocculonodular lobe is the only part of the cerebellar cortex that does not project to the deep nuclei—its output goes to the vestibular nuclei instead.
