Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Damage to the cerebellum typically results in movements that are erratic and robot-like, a condition called ataxia. The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating complex movements and maintaining balance and posture, so damage to it can lead to problems with voluntary muscle control. However, it does not typically lead to an inability to initiate movement or improper muscle tone, and unwanted movements are primarily associated with damage to the basal ganglia.
