cerebellums
Motor coordination organs
Cerebellums is the plural of cerebellum, the part of the brain at the back of the skull that coordinates movement, balance, and posture.
Though the Latin plural cerebella appears in medical literature, cerebellums dominates in general usage: The study compared cerebellums across mammalian species.
