Lesions to this region of the cerebellum lead to postural instability and difficulty in keeping one's eyes fixed on a visual object despite head or body movements.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The region of the cerebellum responsible for maintaining postural stability and gaze fixation is the vestibulocerebellum, also known as the flocculonodular lobe. Lesions to this region can cause symptoms such as difficulty in maintaining balance and eye movements that are not synchronized with head movements. The spinocerebellum (choice A) is involved in coordinating movements of the limbs and trunk, while the neocerebellum (choice C) plays a role in planning and initiating voluntary movements. The dentate nucleus (choice D) is a deep cerebellar nucleus that receives input from the neocerebellum and is involved in the execution of movements.
