within the course “How the Brain Guides the Body. Neurobiology of Movement: From the First Step to Ballet”

For a long time, the cerebellum was considered merely the brain’s “motor accounting system.” Later, scientists discovered that it is also involved in emotional regulation, attention, imagination — and even speech. Most importantly, it refines actions and inner states down to the subtlest nuances. How does this precision emerge? Is it possible to be precise not only in movement, but also in thought, emotion, and reaction? This lecture explores how the brain learns to create rhythm — and how we learn to stay in it.
