Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cerebellum is responsible for motor coordination and the fibers linking it to the cerebral cortex (responsible for higher level thinking and decision making) grow and myelinate during early childhood, contributing to the development of motor coordination. The corpus callosum (which connects the two hemispheres of the brain) and synapses (which are connections between neurons) are not as directly involved in motor coordination.
