Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebellum controls a number of functions including movement, speech, balance, and posture.
Detailed explanation-2: -The cerebellum is important for movement control and plays a particularly crucial role in balance and locomotion. As such, one of the most characteristic signs of cerebellar damage is walking ataxia.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cerebellum: Sensing how to balance.
Detailed explanation-4: -The flocculonodular lobe. It is the oldest part of the brain in evolutionary terms (archicerebellum) and participates mainly in balance and spatial orientation. Its primary connections are with the vestibular nuclei, although it also receives visual and other sensory input.
Detailed explanation-5: -Cerebellum. The cerebellum sits at the back of the brain and controls your sense of balance. This allows you to stand up, walk in a straight line, and know if you are standing up or sitting down.
