Lint: superior-cerebellar-peduncles

List Caps
warning

"Wernekinck commissure syndrome: syndrome caused by a lesion to the superior cerebellar peduncle decussation, usually from ischaemic stroke"

Line 10:11 · In general, we don't start a list item with a capital letter. Exceptions are proper nouns.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"The superior cerebellar peduncles, also known as the brachium conjunctivum, are paired white matter fibre tracts that connect the cerebellum with the midbrain. The superior cerebellar peduncle contains vital afferent and efferent fibres including cerebellothalamic, cerebellorubral and ventrospinocerebellar tracts."

Line 1:299 · Use the Oxford comma in 'cerebellothalamic, cerebellorubral and ventrospinocerebellar'.
Parentheses
suggestion

"The superior cerebellar peduncles decussate centrally (decussation of Wernekinck) in the ventral midbrain at the level of the inferior colliculi. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) enables depiction of the superior cerebellar peduncle decussation (the Wernekinck commissure), and on the colour-coded fractional anisotropy map, this is seen as a red dot in the ventral midbrain (conventionally, red denotes transversely-orientated fibres)."

Line 5:58 · Use parentheses judiciously. There are at least 3 sets in this paragraph.
