Cerebellum: What It Is, Function & Anatomy - Cleveland Clinic
网页2022年7月7日 — Your cerebellum is a part of your brain located at the back of your head, just above and behind where your spinal cord connects to your brain itself. The name “cerebellum” comes from Latin and means “little brain.” For centuries, scientists believed your cerebellum’s job was to coordinate your muscle movements.
Cerebellum - Wikipedia
网页Anatomically, the human cerebellum has the appearance of a separate structure attached to the bottom of the brain, tucked underneath the cerebral hemispheres. Its cortical surface is covered with finely spaced parallel grooves, in striking contrast to the broad irregular convolutions of the cerebral cortex.

网页2022年12月16日 — The cerebellum, which stands for “little brain”, is a structure of the central nervous system. It has an important role in motor control, with cerebellar dysfunction often presenting with motor signs. In particular, it is active in the coordination, precision and timing of movements, as well as in motor learning.
Cerebellum: Definition, Location, and Functions - Verywell Mind
网页2023年5月12日 — The cerebellum (which is Latin for “little brain”) is a major structure of the hindbrain that is located near the brainstem. The cerebellum is most directly involved in coordinating voluntary movements. It is also responsible for a number of functions including motor skills such as balance, coordination, and posture.
Cerebellum | Description, Anatomy, & Functions | Britannica
网页2024年9月9日 — Cerebellum, brain region that coordinates sensory input with muscular responses, located below and behind the cerebral hemispheres and above the medulla oblongata. The cerebellum functions mainly in coordinating muscle activity for voluntary movements and in enabling fine muscle adjustments to maintain balance.

网页2023年7月27日 — The cerebellum, located dorsal to the pons and the medulla, is one of the primary structures of the hindbrain. It lies under the occipital and temporal lobes of the cerebral cortex. The cerebellum is an integral structure in transmitting sensory signals to the motor portion of the brain.
The cerebellum: Current Biology - Cell Press
网页2024年1月8日 — The cerebellum, that stripey ‘little brain’, sits at the back of your head, under your visual cortex, and contains more than half of the neurons in your entire nervous system. The cerebellum is highly conserved across vertebrates, and its evolutionary expansion has tended to proceed in concert with expansion of cerebral cortex.
Cerebellum: Anatomy and Function - SpringerLink
网页The cerebellum is the largest motor structure in the CNS and, in humans, contains more neurons than the whole of the cerebral cortex. It occupies about one-tenth of the skull cavity, sitting astride the brain stem beneath the occipital cortex (Fig. 1). A great deal is now known about its circuitry and cell physiology.
