Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating movement and maintaining balance. Damage to this area of the brain could lead to difficulties with coordination and balance, as seen in Tracey's case. The medulla and hypothalamus are not directly involved in motor coordination, while the cerebral cortex is involved in higher-level processing of sensory information and motor planning, but not in the immediate execution of movements.
