Conclusions
Cerebellar lesions produce
Incoordination & errors not weakness
Lose ability to anticipate errors
Lose ability to correct
Motor learning
Requires sensory awareness
Implemented via the descending cortical and
brain stem pathways
Cognitive and emotional disturbances
Anatomical connections to prefrontal and
cingulate cortex (via thalamus)
No single function
Clearly mostly motor; learning, optimizes
Functions may apply to cognitive and emotional
behaviors
