Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Damage to the flocculonodular lobe of the cerebellum would be expected to impair postural reflexes as it is responsible for maintaining balance and orientation of the body in space. It receives input from the vestibular system that detects changes in head movement and position as well as visual cues. The flocculonodular lobe of the cerebellum is not involved in muscle contractions, composition of movements, timing of ballistic movements or planning of movements.
