Fine motor (writing), precision (threading a needle) and coordination (cycling). Maintains muscle tone and posture. It also maintains the balance, integrating the information of the vestibular apparatus. Joins the brainstem by the cerebellar peduncle, forming two cerebellar hemispheres and both hemispheres are connected by the vermis.
The cerebellar cortex is made up of gray matter and has Purkinje cells are giant neurons that integrate motor information and reports on the position of the body permanently.
Cerebellum use the feedback mechanism: Compare the movement that wants to do with the position of the body and thus continuously corrects the direction and accuracy of movements (receives information from muscles and joints).
