====Cerebellum====
{{main article|Cerebellum}}
The cerebellum lies behind the pons. The cerebellum is composed of several dividing fissures and lobes. Its function includes the control of posture and the coordination of movements of parts of the body, including the eyes and head, as well as the limbs. Further, it is involved in motion that has been learned and perfected through practice, and it will adapt to new learned movements.<ref name="Kandel" />
Despite its previous classification as a motor structure, the cerebellum also displays connections to areas of the cerebral cortex involved in language and [[cognition]]. These connections have been shown by the use of [[medical imaging]] techniques, such as [[fMRI|functional MRI]] and [[Positron emission tomography]].<ref name="Kandel" />

The body of the cerebellum holds more neurons than any other structure of the brain, including that of the larger [[cerebrum]], but is also more extensively understood than other structures of the brain, as it includes fewer types of different neurons.<ref name="Kandel" /> It handles and processes sensory stimuli, motor information, as well as balance information from the [[vestibular organ]].<ref name="Kandel" />
