It is difficult to treat brain diseases as we still don't understand how the brain works or which areas are responsible for different things. Some medicines may also not cross the blood-brain barrier.
The cerebellum is a small round structure found at the bottom/back of the brain. This controls fine-tuning of motor movement to make them precise.
The cerebral cortex is the largest part of the brain making up the two hemispheres. Consciousness, language processing, decision making and all cognitive functions take place here.
