Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating fine motor movements, balance, and proprioception (the sense of the relative position of the body parts). Damage to the cerebellum can cause symptoms such as difficulty with balance and walking in a straight line, as well as difficulty with fine motor movements. Lyme disease can cause inflammation in the brain, which can affect the cerebellum and lead to these symptoms.
