Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What would happen if your cerebellum was damaged?
A
You would lose balance
B
You would not be able to breath
C
You would be paralyzed
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cerebellar dysfunction causes balance problems and gait disorders along with difficulties in coordination resulting in ataxia, uncoordinated movements, imbalance, speech problems(dysarthria), visual problems (nystagmus) and vertigo as a part of the vestibulocerebellar system.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, the cerebrum, if damaged, may cause personality disorders, loss of senses, or trouble with thinking and learning. Damage to the brain stem, on the other hand, may lead to breathing issues, paralysis, and even death. Location is a very important factor in the development of brain damage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Persistent ataxia usually results from damage to the part of your brain that controls muscle coordination (cerebellum). Ataxia describes poor muscle control that causes clumsy voluntary movements. It may cause difficulty with walking and balance, hand coordination, speech and swallowing, and eye movements.

Detailed explanation-4: -One idea that may explain the postural instability seen during self-generated movements is that cerebellar damage disrupts the ability to predict the intersegmental dynamics of the limbs and how the limb movements will produce torques at the trunk and other body segments that are not moving.
