Cerebellum Summary
316 words, approx. 1 pages
The cerebellum, which is Latin for "little brain," is located at the back of the head. In the human brain it is the second-largest part, occupying a place partially tucked under the forebrain's cerebral hemispheres. In birds, it is the largest part, in...
