Cerebellum
The cerebellum consists of two deeply-convoluted hemispheres. Although it represents only 10% of the weight of the brain, it contains as many neurons as all the rest of the brain combined.
cerebellum That part of the brain concerned with fine motor coordination and body movement, posture, and balance; is part of the hindbrain and is attached to the rear portion of the brain stem. PICTURE ...

(seh-reh-bell-um) [L. dim. of cerebrum, brain]
Part of the vertebrate hindbrain (rhombencephalon) located dorsally; functions in unconscious coordination of movement and balance.

The Cerebellum
The cerebellum is the third part of the hindbrain, but it is not considered part of the brain stem. Functions of the cerebellum include fine motor coordination and body movement, posture, and balance.
The Cerebellum."The cerebellum constitutes the largest part of the hindbrain. It lies behind the pons and medulla oblongata; between its central portion and these structures is the cavity of the fourth ventricle.
Cerebellum
Your cerebellum aids your cerebrum in the task of moving your muscles. It helps to maintain balance, moving the muscles you don’t think to move, as you make your arm wiggle around.
cerebellum Portion of the brain that coordinates skeletal muscle movement. Part of the metencephalon, it consists of two hemispheres and a central vermis.
The cerebellum is largely responsible for coordinating the unconscious aspects of proprioception.
Signals from the vestibular system also project to the Cerebellum (where they are used to keep the VOR working, a task usually referred to as Learning or Adaptation) and to different areas in the cortex.
The thin gray surface layer of the cerebellum, consisting of an outer molecular layer or stratum moleculare, a single layer of purkinje cells (the ganglionic layer), and an inner granular layer or stratum granulosum.
Synonym: cortex cerebelli.
Region of the brain that acts as a relay station between the cerebellum and the cerebrum. The pons is part of the brain stem, and it also aids the medulla in the control of breathing.

The most posterior region of the brain of the developing embryo which is divided into the more anterior metencephalon and the more posterior myelencephalon. It later differentiates into the cerebellum, medulla oblongata, and pons (in mammals).
The hindbrain further subdivides into a posterior myelencephalon which will give rise to the medulla oblongata, and an anterior metencephalon, which will give rise to the cerebellum and pons. Also known as hindbrain) ...
The dorsal part of the diencephalon, the rostral most part of the brainstem, above the third ventricle. Embedded between the cerebral hemispheres, the thalamus is a very important relay for optic, auditory and cerebellum pathways ...
