The dentatothalamic tract (or dentatorubrothalamic tract) is a tract which originates in the dentate nucleus and follows the ipsilateral superior cerebellar peduncle, decussating later on and reaching the contralateral red nucleus and the contralateral thalamus. [1]

The term "dentatorubrothalamocortical" is sometimes used to emphasize termination in the cerebral cortex. [2]
