In this article it talks about a woman who was unaware of the fact that she is missing her cerebellum until she was 24. She went to the hospital because she was nauseous and dizzy and they did a CAT scan and it showed that where her cerebellum should be it was filled with cerebrospinal fluid. She had trouble walking most of her life and she also wasn't able to speak that well until she was 7. The cerebellum is 10% of the brains volume but 50% of the brains neurons. The cerebellum's function is it controls your voluntary movements and balance.
The Parietal Lobe
The parietal lobe controls sensations, it deals with and reacts to environment and it processes sensory information. If your parietal lobe is damaged, the person will have trouble reading, recognizing things and people. It will be harder for them to be aware of their bodies. People with damaged parietal lobes have trouble multitasking, issues with telling right and left apart and the mathematic skills they have is often reduced. You can't live without the parietal lobe.
