AB  - The  cerebellum,  containing  half  of  the  brain’s  neurons,  is  primarily  responsible  for  the  coordination  of  movements,  especially  skilled  voluntary  ones,  the  control  of  posture  and  gait,  and  participation  in  the  regulation  of  muscular  tone.  In  addition,  the  cerebellum  may  play  a  role  in  the  modulation  of  the  emotional  state  and  in  special  aspects  of  cognition.  The  mechanisms  by  which  these  functions  are  accomplished  have  been  the  subject  of  intense  investigation  by  anatomists  and  physiologists  for  over  100  years.  Their  studies  have  yielded  a  mass  of  data,  testimony  to  the  complexity  of  the  organization  of  the  cerebellum  and  its  afferent  and  efferent  connections.  A  reasonably  coherent  picture  of  cerebellar  function  has  emerged,  and  it  is  possible  to  relate  certain  of  the  symptoms  and  signs  of  cerebellar  disease  to  discrete  anatomic  and  functional  units.
