Which part of the brain controls balance and coordination?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The cerebellum is located at the back of the brain, beneath the occipital lobes and behind the brainstem. It plays a crucial role in motor control, particularly in the coordination, precision, and timing of movements. The cerebellum integrates input from the sensory systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain to fine-tune motor activity. It helps maintain balance and posture by coordinating the muscles used for these functions. Damage to the cerebellum can result in loss of coordination (ataxia), tremors, and difficulty with balance and gait.

Actually, it's B) Cerebellum. The cerebrum is more for thinking and decision-making.

I think it's C) Medulla oblongata because it sounds like it controls body functions.

Definitely the cerebellum. It's the brain's built-in Cirque du Soleil show.

I'm pretty sure it's the cerebellum. It's the brain's own little circus performer.

The cerebellum, of course! It's the brain's very own balancing act.
