Rubroolivaris tract
The rubroolivaris tract is a nerve pathway that leads from the ruber nucleus in the midbrain to the inferior olivar nucleus in the medulla oblongata .
The tract represents the greatest efference of the ruber nucleus and forms part of the central tegmental tract (central hood tract). It plays an important role in the feedback loop of the cerebellum , since the ruber nucleus receives afferents from the cerebellum via the cerebellorubral tract , which are then passed on to the lower olive nucleus complex via the rubroolivaris tract and from there back to the cerebellum. The signals are modified and processed at each of the levels and then ultimately travel from the cerebellum via the thalamus to the cerebrum and from there towards the spinal cord.
