NERVE CIRCUITS connecting cerebrum, cerebellum and muscle are outlined. The main circuit (left), through which the cerebrum commands the muscle, is supplemented by feedback circuits to the cerebellum (right). Through these feedback circuits the cerebellum monitors main circuit, comparing command impulse from cerebrum with response (sensory) impulse from muscle.
