The Modular Organization

of the Cerebellum

The cerebellum is organized along an anterior–posterior and lateral–medial gra-

dient. The anterior lobes of the cerebellum are involved in movement—typically

that which is very well practiced or automatic. The posterior regions are involved

in cognition and in learning and adapting new sensorimotor tasks and behaviors.

The medial regions of the cerebellum are involved in affective, emotional, and

motivational processes. The lateral regions of the cerebellum are involved in

cognitive processes [234, 235]. Corresponding regions of the cerebral cortex

project information to the cerebellum through the highly organized cerebro-cere-

bellar circuitry system. A simplified scheme of this circuitry system, described

above, is depicted in Fig. 1.
