Detailed explanation-1: -Cerebellum. This is the back of the brain. It coordinates voluntary muscle movements and helps to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium.
Detailed explanation-2: -The cerebellum is important for making postural adjustments in order to maintain balance. Through its input from vestibular receptors and proprioceptors, it modulates commands to motor neurons to compensate for shifts in body position or changes in load upon muscles.
Detailed explanation-3: -The cerebellum receives information from other regions of the brain and nervous system including the brain stem, spinal cord, and cerebrum. This incoming information is then used by the cerebellum to coordinate and control voluntary movements.
Detailed explanation-4: -The primary function of the cerebellum is evidently to detect the difference, or “motor error, ‘’ between an intended movement and the actual movement, and, through its projections to the upper motor neurons, to reduce the error.
