|
The cortex of the cerebellum has two main types of input:climbing fibers coming from the inferior olive to Purkinje cells and Mossy fibers forming synapses on granular cells and from there to the parallel fibers of Purkinje cells.

|
|
The cerebellum modulates the intensity of the vestibular signal reaching the brain. An example of this was found by researchers when they measured the effect of using glasses with a magnifying lens
|
|
|
The cerebellum is involved in maintaining balance, maintaining muscle tone. Related to the coordination of voluntary movements and motor learning
|
|
|
The lateral lobes of the cerebellum are associated with the correction of limb movements
|
|
|
The vestibular nuclei mediate the activity of the Flocculonodular Lobe

Detailed explanation-1: -Your cerebellum is part of your brain that helps coordinate and regulate a wide range of functions and processes in both your brain and body. While it’s very small compared to your brain overall, it holds more than half of the neurons (cells that make up your nervous system) in your whole body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Function. The flocculus is a part of the vestibulo-ocular reflex system and is used to help stabilize gaze during head rotation about any axis of space. Neurons in both the vermis of cerebellum and flocculus transmit an eye velocity signal that correlates with smooth pursuit.
Detailed explanation-3: -This region of the cerebellum has important connections to the vestibular nuclei and uses information about head movement to influence eye movement.
