The cerebellum receives information from the sensory systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain and then regulates motor movements. The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in smooth and balanced muscular activity.
MOLECULAR LAYER.
The outer molecular layer is synaptic and therefore contains many axons of granule cells and and dendrites of the Purkinje cells with least density of cells.
PURKINJE LAYER.
The middle layer (Purkinje cell layer) consists of a single layer of large pear-shaped Purkinje cells.
GRANULAR LAYER.
The inner granular layer contains many, tightly packed granule cells and Golgi type II cells.
WHITE MATTER.
The inner medulla of white matter does not contain any cell bodies and therefore will stain a lighter colour in comparison to the grey matter cortex. It contains nerve fibers, supporting neuroglial cells and small blood vessels.
