Question

write a note on cerebellum

Answer 1

The cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") is a major feature of the hindbrain of all vertebrates. Although usually smaller than the cerebrum, in some animals such as the mormyrid fishes it may be as large as or even larger.[1] In humans, the cerebellum plays an important role in motor control. It may also be involved in some cognitive functions such as attention and language as well as in regulating fear and pleasure responses,[2] but its movement-related functions are the most solidly established. The human cerebellum does not initiate movement, but contributes to coordination, precision, and accurate timing: it receives input from sensory systems of the spinal cord and from other parts of the brain, and integrates these inputs to fine-tune motor activity.[3] Cerebellar damage produces disorders in fine movement, equilibrium, posture, and motor learning in humans

Answer 2

Cerebellum is the part of the brain which controls voluntary activities such as writing,eating, sleeping and walking. it also controls the mean fine motor skills of the body that is neuromuscular coordination while writing. It also controls the movement of the eye or blinking of an eye. Disorders to cerebellum may cause various problems such as balance problems and gait disturbances and also and fatigue. It can also lead to serious chronic disturbances.
