Detailed explanation-4: -Your cerebellum is a small part of your brain located at the bottom of this organ near the back of your head. Your cerebrum is the largest part of your brain and includes parts above and forward of the cerebellum.

Detailed explanation-5: -Midbrain: The top part of the brainstem is crucial for regulating eye movements. Pons: The middle portion of the brainstem coordinates facial movements, hearing and balance.
