title: The weight and linear dimensions of the human cerebellum.
abstract: Data on the weights and linear dimensions of the cerebella from the corpses of 80 women and 140 men aged 20-90 years were studied, using standard methods for statistical data analysis. A relationship was found between differences in the weight and the linear dimensions of the cerebellum and differences in skull size. Cerebellar weight and transverse dimensions were greater in males than in females. There were decreases in the weight and linear dimensions of the cerebellum after age 60 years.
