Abstract

Evidence that the cerebellum is not purely devoted to motor control comes from neuroimaging studies of healthy individuals and from neuropsychological testing of patients with disorders that affect the cerebellum. Data suggest that the cerebellum contributes to cognitive processes, including executive function. Specific cerebellar contributions to cognition are not well understood. However, operations of closed cerebro-cerebellar loops likely provide the means by which the cerebellum supports a range of essential functions, from the coordination of basic motor execution to the synchronization of higher order planning and executive control.
