Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebrum controls all motor tasks, language, and memory actions, while the cerebellum controls balance, coordination, and posture. The role of these two brain hemispheres is to maintain balance in athletes. The cerebral cortex helps process mental events (e.g., thinking) while the cerebellum controls the movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, the cerebrum, if damaged, may cause personality disorders, loss of senses, or trouble with thinking and learning. Damage to the brain stem, on the other hand, may lead to breathing issues, paralysis, and even death. Location is a very important factor in the development of brain damage.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cerebellum is located behind the brain stem. While the frontal lobe controls movement, the cerebellum “fine-tunes” this movement. This area of the brain is responsible for fine motor movement, balance, and the brain’s ability to determine limb position.
