068 The Anatomy and Function of the Cerebellum

Leslie Samuel discusses the anatomy and functions of the cerebellum, highlighting its role in motion coordination. The cerebellum, known as the 'little brain,' is located at the back and bottom of the brain. It integrates signals for movement regulation and coordination. The cerebellar peduncles connect the cerebellum to the brainstem, with three pairs: superior, middle, and inferior. The cerebellum has three lobes: anterior, posterior, and flocculonodular, each receiving information from different parts of the nervous system. The video concludes with an invitation to explore more resources on interactive-biology.com.
