The cerebellum (meaning "little brain" in Latin), located in the bottom of the brain, is an area that accounts for 50% of the human brain's neurons and 10% of the brain's volume. In humans and other vertebrates, the cerebellum is highly developed
FunctionsThe cerebellum is in charge of controlling voluntary movements and coordinating movement. It also plays an important role in balance, and regulates smooth movements.
