Cerebellar Cortex performs a broad role in different key cognitive functions such as attention and the processing of language, music and other sensory temporal stimuli. It functions well in performing actions and perceiving thoughts.
The cells of the cerebellum function in motor control, cognitive functions, and regulation of emotional responses. Purkinje cells use the transmitter GABA to inhibit their targets.
Granule cells exert excitatory effects.

Grey matter is distributed at the surface of the cerebral hemispheres (cerebral cortex) and of the cerebellum (cerebellar cortex), as well as in the depths of the cerebrum (thalamus; hypothalamus; subthalamus, basal ganglia - putamen, globus pallidus, nucleus accumbens; septal nuclei), cerebellar (deep cerebellar nuclei - dentate nucleus, globose nucleus, emboliform nucleus, fastigial nucleus), brainstem (substantia nigra, red nucleus, olivary nuclei, cranial nerve nuclei) and spinal grey matter (anterior horn, lateral horn, posterior horn).
No. Huntington's Disease is a pathological process affecting subcortical structures, not the cerebellar cortex. It does cause generalized atrophy of the cerebral cortex, over time, however. It is a genetic disorder, autosomal dominant in its transmission process, and occurring on chromosome number 4.
corpus callosum
Yes. Your cerebellum is actually made up of very tightly folded outer layer of grey matter, and you can find the white matter lies underneath it.
controlling basic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure
The Purkinje fibers are located in the inner ventricular walls of the heart, just beneath the endocardium in a space called the subendocardium.
Pre central gyrus has got the motor cortex. Through this area you get the initiation of final motor pathway.
Motor cortex is a region found in the cerebral cortex of the brain. It main function is to plan, control, and execute voluntary motor processes.
