Cerebellum and Movement
- Works with the supplementary motor area (SMA) to regulate ongoing movements and create uniform movement.
- The size of the cerebellum is positively related to the complexity of an organism's movement capabilities.
- The outer layer, or "cerebellar cortex," contains Purkinje cells involved in guiding movement.
- Receives and sends information to the sensory organs of the proprioceptive and kinesthetic systems to help process body position and movement.

Postural Sway
A professional dancer performs a complex routine that involves a rapid sequence of precise, coordinated, and fluid movements. A specific brain structure, which constantly receives information about the body's position and movement, is critical for this level of performance. Based on its role, what is the most likely consequence if this specific structure were impaired?
