that a primary role of the cerebellum may be to generate exquisite
regulation of the timing of movements. Much of the intricate neural
circuitry of the cerebellum may be related to obtaining information
about very small intervals of time. Highly precise timing of sequences
of muscle flexions involved in movements is necessary to smoothly
execute the kinds of movement we do all the time so unconsciously
and effortlessly.
