Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cerebellum plays an important role in coordinating the motor movements required for speech. As Stanley's cerebellum degenerates, he may find it progressively more difficult to speak clearly. Difficulty breathing and maintaining a normal core body temperature are not primarily controlled by the cerebellum. While the cerebellum may play a role in sleep regulation, it is not the only part of the brain involved in this process. Therefore, it is less likely that sleeping will become progressively more difficult for Stanley due to cerebellar degeneration.
