A patient walks with a jerky, uncoordinated motion. A good preliminary diagnosis would be damage to the __________?
Correct answer: D. cerebellum
- A. thalamus
- B. amygdala

- D. cerebellum
Explanation
The cerebellum fine-tunes balance, coordination, and the smooth timing of movement, so damage can produce jerky and uncoordinated walking. The thalamus and amygdala do not primarily control motor coordination.
