NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Even though the cerebellum has so many neurons and takes up so much space, it is possible to survive without it, and a few people have. There are nine known cases of cerebellar agenesis, a condition where this structure never develops.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cerebellar agenesis is a rare condition in which a brain develops without the cerebellum. The cerebellum controls smooth movement, and when it does not develop, the rest of the brain must compensate, which it cannot do completely.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cerebellar agenesis is most often associated with impairment of motor function, especially an inability to coordinate of voluntary movements (ataxia). Affected individuals may be clumsy and there may be delays in the acquisition of motor activities (psychomotor delays). Walking may be delayed until 4-7 years of age.

Detailed explanation-4: -It’s the brain region critical for movement and coordination. And apparently, it’s possible for a person to live without it.
