Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The part of the brain most closely associated with maintaining balance, the coordination of complex sequences of movements, and procedural/implicit memory is the ____
A
hypothalamus
B
cerebellum
C
medulla
D
pons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebellum is classically thought to control movement coordination (Flourens, 1824; Luciani, 1891) and motor learning (Marr, 1969; Albus, 1972) but recent experimental evidence suggests that it may also play a key role in cognition and emotion (Schmahmann, 2004; Schmahmann and Caplan, 2006; Ito, 2008)1.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cerebellum. This is the back of the brain. It coordinates voluntary muscle movements and helps to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cerebellum: The cerebellum, also known as the little brain, is responsible for smooth, coordinated voluntary movements. It subdivides into three lobes: the anterior, posterior, and flocculonodular lobes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Previous neuroimaging studies have reported that motor-type procedural memory may be supported by multiple brain regions, including the frontal and parietal regions as well as the basal ganglia (cerebellum); this was found with a serial reaction time task (SRT task).
