Detailed explanation-2: -The cerebellum is primarily responsible for muscle control, including balance and movement. It also plays a role in other cognitive functions such as language processing and memory.

Detailed explanation-3: -Below are a list of some of the associated functions of the cerebellum: Coordination of voluntary movement. Balance. Posture.

Detailed explanation-4: -Instead-like the basal ganglia-the cerebellum influences movements by modifying the activity patterns of the upper motor neurons. In fact, the cerebellum sends prominent projections to virtually all upper motor neurons.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cerebellum is the part of the brain most involved in coordinating sequences of movements. It also controls balance and posture. Anything that damages the cerebellum can lead to loss of coordination (ataxia). However, Many other disorders can also cause loss of coordination.
