The [[inferior vermis]] lies in a deep vertical depression in the [[suboccipital]] surface called the [[posterior cerebellar incisura]], which also contains the [[falx cerebelli]]. The [[inferior vermis]] forms the posterior cortical surface within this [[incisura]]. In contrast, the [[superior vermis]] is the highest point on the [[cerebellum]], occupying the space under the [[straight sinus]] where the tentorial leaflets intersect with the [[falx cerebri]]. The superior vermis slopes downward from its apex anteriorly to the posterior cerebellar incisura. The tentorial part of the vermian surface includes (from anterior to posterior) the [[culmen]], [[declive]], and [[folium]]. The suboccipital part of the vermian surface includes (from superior to inferior) the [[tuber]], [[pyramid]], [[uvula]], and [[nodule]]. The nodule is hidden deep to the uvula.
