The Cerebellum and Cognition : The Cerebellum and Cognition - Volume 41

Cerebellar function has traditionally been understood as being confined to the control of voluntary movement.

Recent research revises this narrow view and suggests that the cerebellum is critically involved in a number of nonmotor behaviors and cognitive operations.

The Cerebellum and Cognition is a comprehensive work that defines this emerging field of investigation into the nature and extent of the cerebellar involvement in nonmotor processing, including thought, language, memory, and mood.

Authoritative and in-depth discussions by a preeminent group of authors who have helped shape this field of inquiry are presented.

This volume will appeal to cognitive neuroscientists, neuropsychiatrists, and neurologists, as well as scientist and medical practitioners with specialized interest in cognition, behavior, and motor control.
