Answer 2

The cerebellum is also called 'the little brain' because it shares many similarities with the cerebrum, the main portion of the brain.

• Estimates based on functional mapping of the cerebellum using functional MRI suggest that more than half of the cerebellar cortex is interconnected with association zones of the cerebral cortex.
