Quote

Movement, particularly stimulation by rocking, spinning, or hanging upside down, helps develop a large and important area behind the brain stem: the cerebellum, which connects the vestibular system that is linked to the balance mechanisms in the inner ear. The cerebellum also interacts with higher, frontal levels in the brain for cognitive skills such as language, social interaction, music, the ability to perform repetitive activities automatically (e.g., handwriting), and perhaps attention.
