Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | The cerebellum is involved in the control of motor and nonmotor functions. Refined and
innovative experimental and clinical approaches, starting from anatomy and including
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), have allowed researchers to store extensive
information on the cerebellar contributions to motor control and also helped them to
understanding cerebellar nonmotor functions. Does the cerebellum process exclusively
cerebral information related to certain specific actions, or does it also process some forms
of information independent of such relation? At present, researchers are close to evaluating
how the cerebellum is active during resolution of cognitive tasks. Various therapy lines in
perspective, from cerebellar stimulation to cerbellar grafts and artificial cerebellum, are of
particular significance, as they can restore lost brain functions in animal models and repair
insufficient brain processes in patients. |
