In Latin, the word cerebellum means little brain. The cerebellum is the area of the hindbrain that controls movement coordination, balance, equilibrium and muscle tone. Like the cerebral cortex, the cerebellum is comprised of white matter and a thin, outer layer of densely folded gray matter.
The cerebellum is located behind the brain stem. While the frontal lobe controls movement, the cerebellum âfine-tunesâ movement. This area of the brain controls fine motor movement, balance, and the brainâs ability to determine limb position.
