The cerebellum is a region of the brain whose main function is to integrate the sensory and motor pathways. There is a large number of nerve bundles that connect the cerebellum with other brain structures and with the spinal cord. The cerebellum integrates all the information received to specify and control the orders that the cerebral cortex sends to the musculoskeletal system through the motor pathways. It is the regulator of physiological tremor.
