Cerebellum: Movement Regulation and Cognitive Functions
For more than a century it has been known that the cerebellum is an important part of the brain for the control of movement. Although this structure is not necessary for the initiation ofmotion,movements become erratic in their size and direction when the cerebellum is damaged (a symptom called dysmetria). In addition to its role in regulating and coordinating movement, the cerebellum is consid...
متن کاملThe cognitive neuropsychology of the cerebellum
We review evidence from neuropsychological studies of patients with damage to the cerebellum that suggests cerebellar involvement in four general categories of cognition: (1) speech and language; (2) temporal processing; (3) implicit learning and memory; (4) visuospatial processing and attention. A relatively strong case can be made for cerebellar contributions to language (including speech per...
متن کاملthe cognitive face of cerebellum; implications for extended research
for years, the role of cerebellum was believed to be limited to motor functions. only since almost two decades ago, a new concept about cerebellum and its contribution to non-motor functions including cognition and emotion started to emerged. during the recent years, numerous studies have focused on the cerebellar non-motor functions with their results providing supportive evidence on this view...

متن کاملNonmotor Functions of the Cerebellum: An Introduction.
The concept of nonmotor functions of the cerebellum (little cerebrum) is an intriguing proposal that has garnered little attention in the past but has become a relatively recent focal point for neuroscience investigators. The preponderance of anatomic and clinical evidence supporting the traditional view of the cerebellum as a motor mechanism has understandably overwhelmed the sporadic reports ...
