Cerebellum

This tutorial by Ken Hub explores the cerebellum, a crucial brain structure involved in motor control, balance, and posture. It covers the cerebellum's location, its three peduncles (inferior, middle, and superior), and their roles in connecting the cerebellum with the central nervous system. The video also details the cerebellar lobes (anterior, posterior, and flocculonodular) and the vermis, including its lobules and their functions. The tutorial concludes with a look at additional structures like the medullary velum.
