Cerebellar closed-loops

Abstract

Data from histological tracing studies in non-human primate strongly support the view that the cerebellar system is organized into distinct, motor and non-motor, parallel closed-loop circuits interconnecting the cerebellum and the cerebral cortex. Functional imaging data in human seem to confi rm this specifi c network organization in human, and to extend the role of the cerebellum from motor control to regulation of cognition and emotion.
