Impulses to the cerebellum are primarily sent through the spinocerebellar tracts (anterior and posterior) which convey proprioceptive information from the body to the cerebellum. Additionally, the corticopontocerebellar tract carries motor information from the cerebral cortex to the cerebellum.
tentorium cerebelli separates your cerebellum from your cerebrum.
The white matter of the cerebellum forms the arbor vitae, which refers to the branching pattern resembling a tree. It contains nerve fibers that connect different parts of the cerebellum and also connects the cerebellum to other parts of the brain.
The cerebellum is the part of the brain responsible for coordinating balance and muscle activity. It receives sensory input from the inner ear and other parts of the body to help maintain equilibrium and posture.
