The cerebellum is presently recognized as an important structure for cognitive, emotional, and behavioral integration and exerts such activities through its newer parts that belong to the cerebrocerebellar system. Two bundles relate the cerebral cortex to the cerebellum-an anterior (frontopontine) projection (Arnold's bundle) and a posterior (temporo-occipito-parietal-pontine) projection (Türck's bundle). The historical development and the controversies about the eponym of the bundle named after Türck is reviewed. Besides the researchers and authors that were in agreement with Meynert, of a tract he described, and apparently in a deliberate way named after Türck, others rose to contest the eponym, considering it a misnomer. Despite some controversies, this bundle deserves to maintain the name, Türck's bundle, to honor the outstanding researcher that described it and named it after a notable colleague, possibly as a tribute, and also to mark the difficulties that surrounded this episode of neurological history.
目前，小脑被认为是认知、情感和行为整合的重要结构，并通过其属于脑桥小脑系统的较新部分发挥这些功能。有两束神经将大脑皮层与小脑相连——一束是前向（额桥）投射（阿诺德束），另一束是后向（颞枕顶桥）投射（图尔克束）。本文回顾了以图尔克命名的这束神经的历史发展以及关于其命名的争议。除了那些认同迈内特观点的研究人员和作者，他们认为迈内特所描述的一条神经束显然是以图尔克的名字故意命名的，其他人则对这个命名提出质疑，认为这是一个不恰当的名称。尽管存在一些争议，但这束神经仍值得保留图尔克束这个名称，以纪念描述它并以一位杰出同事的名字命名它的优秀研究者，这可能是一种敬意，同时也为了铭记这段神经学历史中所围绕的困难。
