"HOMUNCULI" or projection areas show localization of function in the cerebellum. They show some correspondence to similar projection areas of the cerebrum. Stimuli from the sense organs of touch and from the "proprioceptive endings" that monitor muscle behavior are projected both on the upside-down figure at the top and on the partially split figure at bottom. Another projection area, which differs from these in not resembling the body shape, is indicated by the colored lines (center). Here auditory and visual stimuli are received.
