The main function of cerebellum is to control the motor movements. However, It does not
initiate the movement, but helps in coordination. The other functions are: maintenance of posture
and balance, voluntary movements coordination. It receives the signals from sensory nerves of
spinal cord and brain and help in tuning the motor activity.
The physicians may have observed the imbalance of movements. Eventhough the patient may
move or hold any substances, the movement would not be uniform or clearly, the movement
would not be in a coordinaated fashion. observing the changes in the motor actions of the patient,
the physicians could have concluded that the cerebellum was the damaged part of the brain.
After gaining consciousness, the patient could not remember any of the events. Although
memory is not associated with the functions of cerebellum, there are several cerebellar pathways,
the inhibition of which may lead to memory loss. There are pathways that link cerebrum and
cerebellum of the brain. The pathway starts from cerebral cortex to cerebellar cortex. The
feedback signals again travel from cerebellar cortex to cerebral cortex. the damage in these
pathways may result in loss of spatial memory and working memory (as seen in Cerebellar
cognitive affective Syndrome).
Another evidence that cerebellum is involved in memory loss is \"transient global amnesia\",
where the patient may have difficulty in forming new memories or recalling old memories. In
this case, the patient recalls only the last few minutes of consciousness and deeply printed
information in brain (for example, his name etc)
The patient may recall older memories in a few weeks or months. It varies. The motor and spatial
functions may be restored if the neurons are undamaged and stimulated. That depends on several
factors like patients\' age.
