Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebellum (“little brain”) is a fist-sized portion of the brain located at the back of the head, below the temporal and occipital lobes and above the brainstem. Like the cerebral cortex, it has two hemispheres. The outer portion contains neurons, and the inner area communicates with the cerebral cortex.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cerebellum is at the back of the brain, below the cerebrum. It’s a lot smaller than the cerebrum. But it’s a very important part of the brain. It controls balance, movement, and coordination (how your muscles work together).

Detailed explanation-3: -Cerebellum: is located under the cerebrum. Its function is to coordinate muscle movements, maintain posture, and balance.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cerebellum is located at the back of the head underneath the occipital and temporal lobes. The cerebellum creates automatic programs so we can make complex movements without thinking. The brain stem is located underneath the temporal lobes and extended down to the spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-5: -Brainstem. The brainstem is the lower extension of the brain, located in front of the cerebellum and connected to the spinal cord. It consists of three structures: the midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata.
