doctor care, rehabilitation || they're are no treatments or cures yet. ||
 * Introduction Paragraph || You are doing the balance beam in gymnastics and suddenly you feel like you are going to fall off. inside your brain towards the back of the brain near the brain stem many things are happening. neurons are working like crazy trieing to stop you from falling. You look ahead and steady yourself. You then continue on with gymnastics. this is your cerebellum at work. ||
 * Describe your topic...where is it, what does it do || The cerebellum is in the back of your brain toward the brain stem.It is safely tucked away so that it is hard to get hit. The cerebellum is in charge of smooth body movement, and coordinates good balance. The cerebellum is also in charge of making sure all your body parts work together. For example let's say that you are doing the balance beam in gymnastics then you will have to use your cerebellum for balance. ||
 * Treatments/cures....medicines, surgeries, therapies,
 * Symptoms...what happens if it is injured || If cerebellar injury happens you will stagger when you walk, lose coordination, and not be able to calculate distance. All in all you do not want to hit your cerebellum. When you lose coordination your moves all of them will be jerky and unbalanced. If you stagger at all when you walk it is probably an indication to cerebellar injury.If you start to lose your ability to calculate distance I suggest not going anywhere near cliffs or other high objects. ||
 * how does it work with the rest of the brain? || The cerebellum works with the rest of the brain using the neurons in your body that carry electric signals to the rest of the brain. For example let's say you are bouncing your pencil or lifting your leg. The reason you can do this is because of the neurons in your brain. the neurons are all through out your body, but they don't actually join together they're is a net that the electrical signal can travel through. first the signal starts in the cerebellum where it tells your body to move what ever part of your body needs to move, then the electrical signal travels through the appropriate neurons to the part of your body that needs to move, last the body part moves. this all happened in the space of about 1/100 of a second, actually probably faster. ||
 * how does the cerebellum get damaged? || Normally if brain tumor happens in the cerebellum, it is caused by abnormalitys in the genes of the person with the brain tumor.if brain tumor happens the person with the brain tumor's cerebellum would be the usual such as losing coordination. If you have multiple sclerosis there is a chance that your cerebellum has been damaged scientists are not sure yet. ||
 * Conclusion Paragraph || This is the cerebellum at work and now you know why your cerebellum is so important when you are doing gymnastics.You have learned all about how the cerebellum gets damaged, and how it works with the rest of the brain. You have also learned about the symtoms for damaging your cerebellum, and if there are any treatments or cures for hitting your cerebellum. Don't forget though never go near cliffs if you have hit your cerebellum. You might just fall off. ||
