The cerebellum is responsible for coordination, balance, and movement. Damage to the cerebellum can result in difficulties with coordination and movement, which would explain Tracey's inability to participate in gymnastics and uncoordinated movements. The medulla, hypothalamus, and hippocampus are involved in other functions such as vital life-sustaining processes, regulating hormones, and memory formation. While the cerebral cortex is involved in many higher-level functions including movement, damage to this area alone would not likely result in the specific symptoms described for Tracey.
