LETTER TO THE EDITOR Morality: incomplete without the cerebellum?
Sir, Fumagalli and Priori (2012) present an overview of the functional neuroanatomy of morality, in which they discuss cortical and subcortical structures involved in normal and aberrant moral behaviour. Recognizing the complexities of moral judgement and action, the authors invoke in their dissertation a consideration of cognitive processes critical to morality. These include theory of mind, s...
متن کاملLETTER TO THE EDITOR Reply: Morality: incomplete without the cerebellum?
Sir, We thank Demirtas-Tatlidede and Schmahmann (2013) for their interest in our paper and for their comments that witness the growing attention to the neurology of moral behaviour. Although, as they suggest, we could have discussed the potential cerebellar role in morality, our review aimed to outline only the major research findings and we deliberately included proved experimental and clinica...

Indeed, amoral and unethical behavior is often supported by religion; historical and contemporary examples are support for slavery and oppression of women and homosexuals. Moreover, numerous secular, nonreligious individuals and organizations (such as Doctors Without ...
متن کاملLife without a cerebellum.
ischaemic attacks or carotid disease was all very well, but did not answer the more relevant question: do patients with severe carotid disease and limb shaking transient ischaemic attacks have more impaired cerebrovascular reactivity than similar patients with 'con-ventional' transient ischaemic attacks (i.e. loss of function such as paralysis contralateral to severe carotid disease)? In this i...
متن کاملAdult neurogenesis without germinal layers: the "atypical" cerebellum of rabbits.
Unlike non mammalian vertebrates, adult neurogenesis in mammals is detectable in highly restricted brain sites. Persistent neurogenesis is thought to depend on stem cells residing in neural stem cell niches which are remnants of the embryonic germinal layers. Local progenitors which retain some proliferative capacity have been identified in the mature brain parenchyma, yet they do not support a...
