Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cerebellum is responsible for fine motor control and coordination, including tasks such as writing and clapping. Damage to this area can result in difficulties with these activities. The basal ganglia are involved in movement control and learning, but not specifically fine motor skills like writing and clapping. Mirror neurons are involved in empathy and understanding the actions of others, but not in fine motor control. The hippocampus is involved in memory, but not in motor skills.
