...The cerebellum (Latin for little brain) is a region of the brain that plays an important role in the integration of sensory perception, coordination and motor control. In order to coordinate motor control, there are many neural pathways linking the cerebellum with the cerebral motor cortex (which sends information to the muscles causing them to move) and the spinocerebellar tract (which provides proprioceptive feedback on the position of the body in space). The cerebellum integrates these pathways using the constant feedback to fine-tune motor activity. Read full entry

What could be the reason Why 1. What could be the reason
Why is the cerebellum of frog
is relatively smaller compared
to those found in birds?
2. The number of spinal nerves
in frog tadpole is 40 pairs as
opposed to number of spinal
nerves in adult frog. What
possible factors could
influence on the number of
spinal nerves in animals?

for number 1: The cerebellum is the part of the brain that controls sensory perception, motor control, and coordination. I would think that a bird has a larger cerebellum because of the coordination and work that it takes to fly. |

What would happen if we This is for a project. I know
that the Cerebellum controls
balance and movement, so would
an increased size of the
cerebellum help the person
balance while doing certain
sports and other activities?

The back of your head would bulge outward, and you would be so ugly that no women would date you. You balance well enough with your head the way it is. If you check out women's gymnastics, you'll notice that none of the girls competing are Neanderthals. |
