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.

It's definitely the cerebellum. Although I guess the hypothalamus could be in charge of our clumsiness...

I think it's the cerebrum, but after hearing Ashleigh and Arlene, I realize it's actually the cerebellum.

B) Cerebellum - I'm pretty sure that's the part of the brain responsible for keeping us from face-planting every time we walk.

The cerebellum, of course! Without it, we'd all be stumbling around like newborn giraffes.
