The most important function of the cerebellum is to minimise the difference between the intended and the actual movements. As a result the hind brain plays an important role in facilitating the connections between the cerebrum and the cerebellum. It is due to these connections that most movements appear smooth and coordinated. For further information regarding the cerebellum, please see here.
