Pro Tip 1/3Part of Brain
Specifically, the cerebellum is located under the cerebrum and behind the brainstem.
The MRI showed that her cerebellum was healthy and functioning well.
Pro Tip 2/3Muscle Coordination
The cerebellum also plays a crucial role in balance and fine-tuning movements.
After the injury, he had to retrain his cerebellum to improve his hand-eye coordination.
Pro Tip 3/3Not for Thought
Although part of the brain, the cerebellum does not deal with thinking or emotions.
She learned that her cerebellum controlled movement, not her ability to solve math problems.

Much like the cerebrum, the cerebellum has nerve cells and nerve fibers. It carries signals to the other parts of the brain and to the spinal cord. The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating muscle movements, particularly those that help maintain the body's balance and posture.

Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters
South African Model
My half-sister was born without a cerebellum and is completely disabled. She is my biggest motivator and inspiration, because her situation makes me realize how special life is, and I always want to work twice as hard, enjoy life twice as much so that I can enjoy it for her as well.

Vertigo, it was thought at the time, could only be caused by a disease of the cerebellum. He observed this kind of patient for years and saw absolutely no symptoms of brain disease.

I don't know about you, but I feel like my day begins by blinking my eyes open, grabbing my phone, and just pouring poison directly into my cerebellum.

Not everything has to be 'The Bridge' or 'The Wire'. Those shows are brilliant. But you have to invest your cerebellum in them.
