Cerebellum Experiment

While on patrol, I was parked in the entrance to Mansard's plaza, facing E Ridge Rd, monitoring traffic. A female in a silver pickup truck pulled into the lot and flagged me down. The female pointed towards a white and maroon Corvette traveling east on Ridge Rd and stated that she believes the driver may be intoxicated. I immediately pulled onto Ridge Rd and got behind the Corvette. As I was following the Corvette east on Ridge, another vehicle with a male driver pulled up to the side of me and shouted out the window, "That guy is drunk". I then observed the Corvette to weave from the outside lane to the center lane, without signaling. The vehicle then abruptly swerved back into the outside lane, without signaling. The vehicle then came to

Connected to the brain stem and is located in the back of the brain is the cerebellum. The cerebellum is responsible for motor coordination and also some learning involving movement. Once someone learns a new motor action that information is held in the cerebellum.

The hypothalamus controls several main bodily functions including: “hunger, thirst, sexual motivation, body temperature and a variety of other emotions” (pg. 100). A prime example of how the hypothalamus would be active during my night with my friends would be eating pizza. The hypothalamus would trigger me to know I was hungry and tell me that I was enjoying the pizza. It would also play a major role in any emotions my friends or I experience throughout the night, like if I had a friend experiencing a break up, making her feel distraught or sad.

The cerebellum, the part of the brain that regulates and coordinates the movements of the body. It allows us to do things without thinking and helps with memory. While driving the cerebellum coordinates the left and right hand movement.

The Cerebellum is one of the parts that people notice most, due to the unique shapes the Cerebellum has. It is extremely important that we have our Cerebellum, because we use that for walking and writing. The Cerebellum has a lot of purpose, it also helps you to stand up and help your balance. Any damage to the cerebellum might lead to several disorders, such like not speaking well, possibility of falling when you get up, abnormal eye movements, really weak muscles, can make you lose the coordination of your motor movement, and many more stuff. The Cerebellum is one of the most powerful organs in your body. The Cerebellum has

The cerebrum is situated at the back of the brain. The cerebrum is divided into two cerebral hemispheres, left and right. It consists of the corpus, callosm, and nerve fibers. The left and right hemispheres communicate with each other. The brain stem “connects the brain to the spinal cord” (Lu & Bludua, 2011), which regulates the body. The cerebellum is positioned beneath the cerebrum. It manages a person’s equilibrium and coordination.

The brain assymetry experiment is to investigate on the distinctiveness of the right and left hemisphere in the brain as each hemisphere has certain specializations. The experiment were carried out by initially asking the 25 participant on whether they were left or right handed and they had to choose the chimeric image which appeared younger to them. Laterality quotients were calculated in order to deduce the effect of the right or left hemisphere on visuo-spatiality as the participants had to make judgements on the faces. Right-handed individuals showed leftward perceptual bias compared to left-handed individuals, indicating that the right

The cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres, each of which are specialised for certain behaviours — called the right and left cerebral hemispheres. When it comes to intended actions such as walking or hitting a ball, the right hemisphere controls the left side of your body, and the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body. The right side of the brain specialises in visual imagery and spatial abilities, whereas the left side of the brain dominates in logical abilities and language.

Cerebellum and Medulla:
In general, the cerebellum is responsible for controlling motor movement and muscle coordination. The cerebellum receives information from the sensory systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain — and regulates motor movements. The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements including posture, balance and speech, which are factors that provide for smooth movement and activity. In addition, the cerebellum is responsible for motor learning. This means that it is responsible for learning an individual movement or action and facilitates the development of it. 

The brain stem is the stem-like part of the brain that connects to the spinal cord. The medulla has many basic functions, including the regulation of heart rate,

Diencephalon lies beneath the cerebrum in the brain stem region. The diencephalon consists of four main components; thalamus, subthalamus, hypothalamus, and the epithalamus. The thalamus is located on both sides of the brain under the cerebral. The thalamus also makes up most of the diencephalon mass. The primary function is to processes and sends the information it receives to the brain. Located below the thalamus is the hypothalamus and plays another crucial role in the body. The hypothalamus is responsible for our appetite, behavior, and some hormones (Saladin, p.524). Epithalamus is the location to the pineal gland which produces melatonin and helps with sleep cycles. Subthalamus is located between the thalamus and the hypothalamus and

The Hypothalamus receives input form the body and the brain and then sends its influence to the out to the entire body, affecting and regulating things such as body functions, body rhythms, and behavior motivations.

The hindbrain, located directly above the spinal cord, contains the medulla, pons, and cerebellum.The medulla controls breathing, heart rate, swallowing, digestion, and maintaining an up right posture. As well, the medulla is where nerves from the left brain transfer to the right and nerves from the right brain transfer to the left. Below the medulla are the pons. The pons control sleep and arousal. Behind both the medulla and the pons is the cerebellum. The cerebellum is involved in regulation and coordination of body movements and learning.

The cerebellum’s function is to manage muscular activity. The cerebellum contains many cells and it can be separated into three sections. Each of the cerebellum’s regions executes different parts of the cerebellum’s functions. The first region is the vestibulocerebellum and it helps the body maintains its balance and controls its visual movement. The second area of the cerebellum is the spinocerebellum and it manages the activity of the limb and body. The third section of the cerebellum is neocerebellum and it coordinates body movement and assesses information from the cerebral cortex and dentate

The cerebellum can be thought of as a second, smaller brain. It receives information from sensory systems in the body such as the spinal cord and other parts of the brain in order to regulate movement. Voluntary movements are coordinated and muscle tones and stretch reflexes are controlled by the cerebellum. When the cerebellum is damaged, these functions are impaired. One of the leading disabilities caused by a damaged cerebellum is ataxia.

The cerebellum (or ‘Little Brain’) is an area located at the back of the brain, positioned underneath the occipital and temporal lobes [Figure 1]. The structure’s main purpose is the fine-tuning of movement, and maintaining posture and balance. The cerebellum is commonly thought of as a motor system, because it is mostly involved in outputting to the movement (motor) system. However, the cerebellum’s purpose is not the creation of motor commands, rather the moderation and adaptation of commands to increase their accuracy. It also uses a surprisingly large amount of neurons relative to its size: although it is only approximately 10% of the brain’s total volume, it accounts for over 50% of the total number of neurons in the

The cortex consists of four sections, called "lobes". The frontal lobe is connected to reasoning, planning, speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving. The parietal lobe is associated with balance, recognizing, and movement. The occipital lobe is associated with vision. The temporal lobe is connected to hearing, memory, and speech. The cortex is highly wrinkled, making the brain more convenient, as this increases the brain's surface area, giving it more room for neurons. The cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres- the left hemisphere, and the right hemisphere. The right hemisphere is associated with creativity, and the left one is linked with logic. A bundle of nerve fibers, known as the corpus callosum connects these "hemispheres" (Brain Structures and their Functions). The cerebellum, which is also known as the "little brain", is similar to the cerebrum, since it also has two hemispheres and a highly folded surface. This part of the brain is linked with movement and balance. The cerebellum is assumed to be older than the cerebrum "evolutionarily" (Brain Structures and Their Functions). The brain stem controls basic life functions such as blood pressure, breathing, and heartbeat. Scientists say that the brain stem is the simplest part of the brain (Brain Structures and Their Functions).
