This first gen eral since 1972 symposium Portland, Oregon, convened to celebrate publica tion last Comparative Anatomy and Histolo gy Cerebellum by Larsell Jansen. In organizing 1980 Conference, we elected emphasize ad vances neuroanatomy over other aspects because, our view, morphological investigation continues playa large essential role developing understanding cerebellar func tion, and, despite general impression that anat omy is better known than any part nervous system, information this topic far from complete. N everthe less, offers best model have analyzing vertebrate central system. correlation ana tomical, cytological, developmental, physiological, chemical, pharmacological data relatively simple uniform structure, has persisted with remarkable conservatism through evolution, still holds rich store answers most penetrating questions concerning functional organization brain. Naturally, within limits time, space, resources could not pretend include every thing been learned about past decade."
