Cerebellum Location:
The brainstem is part of the brain that is located between the spinal cord and the diencephalon. The diencephalon forms the following structures: thalamus, hypothalamus and epithalamus and third ventricle. The brainstem is composed of the: midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata. The primary function of the cerebellum is to coordinate skilled motor movements and regulates posture and balance. The primary function of the pons is to regulate the rate and depth of breathing.
