[[File:Gray677.png|thumb|250px|Position of the cerebellum (brain facing right)]] [[File:Cerebellum NIH.png|thumb|A human brain, the cerebrellum is shown in purple (brain facing left)]] In all [[vertebrate]]s, including [[human beings]], the '''cerebellum''' is one of the main divisions of the [[brain]]. The cerebellum works mainly to control balance and coordinate movement. It combines signals from eyes, [[muscle spindles]], and ears with motor commands from the [[forebrain]] and helps to coordinate control of the body. More advanced regions of the human cerebellum may be crucial to language and mental dexterity. Bands of [[axon]]s extend from the cerebellum into the [[pons]]. {{-}} {{Biology-stub}} [[Category:Anatomy of the brain]]
