Posterior lobe

cer·e·bel·lum (s

-b

n. pl. cer·e·bel·lums or cer·e·bel·la (-b

)

The trilobed structure of the brain, lying posterior to the pons and medulla oblongata and inferior to the occipital lobes of the cerebral hemispheres, that is responsible for the regulation and coordination of complex voluntary muscular movement as well as the maintenance of posture and balance.

[Medieval Latin, from Latin, diminutive of cerebrum, brain; see ker-¹ in Indo-European roots.]

cere·bellar (-b

r) adj.

cerebellum [ˌsɛrɪˈbɛləm]

n pl -lums, -la [-lə]

(Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Anatomy) one of the major divisions of the vertebrate brain, situated in man above the medulla oblongata and beneath the cerebrum, whose function is coordination of voluntary movements and maintenance of bodily equilibrium

[from Latin, diminutive of cerebrum]

cerebellar adj

cerebellum (s

-b

Plural cerebellums or cerebella

The part of the vertebrate brain that is located below the cerebrum at the rear of the skull and that coordinates balance and muscle activity. In mammals, the cerebellum is made up of two connecting hemispheres that consist of a core of white matter surrounded by gray matter.
