The cerebellum receives sensory input from the eyes,ears,joints,and muscles about the present position of body parts,and it also receives motor output from the cerebral cortex about where these parts should be located.After integrating this information,the cerebellum sends motor impulses by way of the brain stem to the skeletal muscles.In this way,the cerebellum maintains posture and balance.It also ensures that all of the muscles work together to produce smooth,coordinated voluntary movements.The cerebellum assists the learning of new motor skills such as playing the piano or hitting a baseball.
