Neuroscience The Cerebellum's Hidden Complexity
The cerebellum, though only 10% of brain volume, contains over 50% of the brain's neurons. Traditionally associated with motor coordination, the cerebellum also processes cognitive and emotional functions. It acts as a prediction machine, comparing intended actions with actual outcomes. Damage causes not just movement problems but also affects attention, language, and emotional regulation. The cerebellum literally means 'little brain.'
