Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Walking a tightrope involves precise control over balance and coordination, which would activate the olives for their role in motor coordination and the pyramids for their involvement in voluntary motor activity. The superior colliculi are more involved in visual and auditory reflexes, which are not directly related to the motor control required for tightrope walking.
