The location of the synapses of descending cortical input to the cerebellum, serving as a relay station, is the: pons. Cortical input to the cerebellum is relayed through the pons in the form of pontocerebellar fibers, which synapse in the pontine nuclei. From there, fibers cross over (decussate) and enter the cerebellum.

I need to know a few things about the process of neurotransmission. 1. In the lectures for my class we discussed sodium and potassium channels and how they open to allow more sodium and so on to increase then later decrease the charge. My questions about this are: Where exactly does this take place? Is this occurring in the axon as the information is being transferred down to the axon terminals or is it only occurring at the site of the presynaptic cleft? 2. Could you give me a break down of the neurotransmitter release process? These may refer to the same thing but I'm including photos for you to reference what I'm asking about. For the sodium channels, I don't need to know about the types of gates, just the movement and changes in electrical charge.
