The generalised function of the cerebellum is to receive information regarding any '''movement''' in progress or any intended movement via inputs from the muscles, vestibular system and motor centres of the pyramidal and extrapyramidal systems. The most important function of the cerebellum is to minimise the difference between the intended and the actual movements. The cerebellum then projects corrections regarding these movements to all motor centres of the brain via feedback circuits between the pyramidal and extrapyramidal systems. It should be noted that the cerebellum '''cannot initiate movement'''.
