The cerebellum is located in the posterior fossa of the skull below the brain. It has three main lobes - the anterior, middle, and flocculonodular lobes. The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movement through connections with other parts of the brain and spinal cord. It has an outer gray matter cortex containing Purkinje cells and an inner white matter. The cerebellum receives sensory information and regulates motor movements to produce smooth, coordinated activity.
