Answer:

Cerebellar peduncles are the bundles of axons.

Location: On both sides of cerebellum

Step-by-step explanation:

Cerebellar peduncles are the bundles made of white matter and serve to carry the information to and from cerebellum. These are the structures made of axons that serve to carry the impulses between cerebellum and other brain parts.

There are three pairs of cerebellar peduncle which are located on the sides of cerebellum and serve to attach cerebellum to the brain-stem.
