Posterior lobe of cerebellum
The posterior lobe of cerebellum or neocerebellum is one of the lobes of the cerebellum, below the primary fissure.[1] Sometimes, the posterior lobe of cerebellum is called the neocerebellum[2] since phylogenetically it is the newest part of the cerebellum.It plays an important role in fine motor coordination, specifically in the inhibition of involuntary movement via inhibitory neurotransmitters, especially GABA.[2] The posterior lobe receives input mainly from the brainstem (i.e., reticular formation and inferior olivary nucleus) and cerebral cortex.This neuroanatomy article is a stub.
