Leading neuroscientist Dr. Masao Ito advances a detailed and fascinating view of what the
cerebellum contributes to brain function. The cerebellum has been seen as primarily …

The brain is an organ that processes information. Brain systems such as the cerebellum
receive inputs from other systems and generate outputs according to their internal rules of …

While the cerebellum's role in motor function is well recognized, the nature of its concurrent
role in cognitive function remains considerably less clear. The current consensus paper …

The past 25 years have seen the functional domain of the cerebellum extend beyond the
realm of motor control, with considerable discussion of how this subcortical structure …

The Cerebellum and Cognition pulls together a preeminent group of authors. The
cerebellum has been previously considered as a highly complex structure involved only with …

Over the past 30 years, cumulative evidence has indicated that cerebellar function extends
beyond sensorimotor control. This view has emerged from studies of neuroanatomy …

For more than two decades, there has been converging evidence for an essential role of the
cerebellum in non-motor functions. The cerebellum is not only important in learning and …

Making predictions and validating the predictions against actual sensory information is
thought to be one of the most fundamental functions of the nervous system. A growing body …

This paper posits that the brain evolved for the control of action rather than for the
development of cognition per se. We note that the terms commonly used to describe brain …

While classical views of cerebellar learning have suggested that this structure predominantly
operates according to an error-based supervised learning rule to refine movements …
