Abstract
The peculiarities of the individual variability of the mediolateral size of the hemispheric lobules of the human cerebellum, depending on the linear size of the cerebellum were investigated. Serial parasagittal sections of cerebellar hemispheres were studied. It was established, that the lobules I-X of the cerebellar hemispheres can end at a different distance from the median sagittal plane. The mediolateral size of the lobules of the cerebellar hemispheres is related to the width of the cerebellum: the farther from the median sagittal plane the lobules end, the greater the average width of the cerebellum. The length and height of the cerebellum are not related to the mediolateral size of the lobules.
