functions include enabling nonverbal learning and memory. helps us judge time,
A
medulla
B
thalamus
C
cerebellum
D
amygdala
E
hypothalamus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebellum enabled nonverbal learning and skill memory. It is also helps us judge time module our emotions and discriminate sounds and textures. Whereas the hippocampus helps process explicit memories and helps in the storage of memories. A very important part of the limbic system is the amygdala.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cerebellum is important for motor learning. The cerebellum plays a major role in adapting and fine-tuning motor programs to make accurate movements through a trial-and-error process (e.g., learning to hit a baseball).

Detailed explanation-3: -The cerebellum’s job is to process procedural memories; the hippocampus is where new memories are encoded; the amygdala helps determine what memories to store, and it plays a part in determining where the memories are stored based on whether we have a strong or weak emotional response to the event.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your cerebrum sends the signals to the muscles in your arms, and your cerebellum helps calculate and control your movements, so your hand goes right to the pencil without missing. Your cerebellum not only manages conscious thoughts, but also planning and actions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hippocampus. A curved seahorse-shaped organ on the underside of each temporal lobe, the hippocampus is part of a larger structure called the hippocampal formation. It supports memory, learning, navigation and perception of space.
