It plays a vital role in motor control and various cognitive functions. Here are some functions of the cerebellum: 1. Motor Coordination: The cerebellum is primarily involved in coordinating and fine-tuning voluntary muscle movements, ensuring their smooth and precise execution. 2. Balance and Posture: It helps maintain balance and posture by integrating sensory inputs from the inner ear, muscles, and joints, enabling us to stand, walk, and perform various motor tasks. 3. Motor Lea...

  CEREBELLUM(LITTLE BRAIN) A cerebellar disorder refers to condition or disease that affects the cerebellum, which is the part of the brain responsible for coordinating movement, balance, and posture. The cerebellum plays a crucial role in motor control and motor learning. Any changes in cerebellum whether physical or chemical can disturb the normal functioning of cerebellum leading to various diseases. The various types of cerebellar disorders, are: 1. Cerebellar Ataxia: This is a broad term used to describe a group of disorders characterized by a lack of coordination and control of voluntary movements e.g. friedreich's ataxia It can be inherited or acquired due to factors such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, tumour's, or alcohol abuse. 2. Cerebellar hypoplasia:  It refers to an underdeveloped or smaller cerebellum, often present at birth or as a result of genetic abnorma...

                                                         MENTAL ATAXIA   Mental ataxia, also known as cognitive ataxia or cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS), refers to a collection of neurological symptoms characterized by problems with coordination, balance, and cognitive function. It is associated with damage or dysfunction in the cerebellum, a region of the brain responsible for motor control, coordination, and some cognitive processes. Individuals with mental ataxia may experience difficulties with executive functions such as planning, organizing, problem-solving, and multitasking. They may also have impaired attention, working memory deficits, and trouble with abstract reasoning. Additionally, emotional and social regulation can be affected, leading to changes in mood, personality, and social interactions. The precise caus...
