Humuculi in the cerebellum overlap sensory and motor maps. Explain why.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Cortical humuculi in the cerebellum is the brain's physical representation of the human body.

It is the neurological map of the anatomical portions of the body.

Each humuculi correlates with the concerned anatomical portion in some amount of somatosensory input.

So that it overlap sensory and motor maps
