The flocculonodular lobe is a lobe at the caudal end of the cerebellum and consists of the nodule and the flocculus.
It is closely associated with the vestibulocerebellum.[1] This lobe is involved in the maintenance of equilibrium..[1] and is involved in postural reflexes
The flocculonodular lobe receives inputs from the vestibular system and projects its axons to the vestibular nucleus
