    The cerebellum of a mouse is shown here in cross-section. The cerebellum is the brain's locomotion control center.

Found at the base of your brain, the cerebellum is a single layer of tissue with deep folds like an accordion. People with damage to this region of the brain often have difficulty with balance, coordination and fine motor skills. For a higher magnification, see image 3371.
