Patients with damage to this structure exhibit "intention tremor." It is very sensitive to alcohol, and tests for damage to it are similar to drunk driving tests. Input to this part of the metencephalon comes from the Inferior Olive via climbing fibers. This region has a regular structure consisting of parallel fibers, tiny granule cells, and gigantic Purkinje cells, which may have a general (*) "error correction" function. Although it only takes up 10% of the volume, it contains about 80% of the brain's neurons. It sits behind the pons and under the occipital lobe. For 10 points, name this region of the brain important for coordination and motor control, which looks like another little brain behind the cerebrum.
