Detailed explanation-2: -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.
