Abstract
First paragraph: Over the past decades, clinical, neuroimaging, anatomical, and physiological studies have established the presence of a ¡°cognitive¡± and a ¡°limbic¡± cerebellum¡ªthe former being represented primarily in posterolateral regions and the dentate nuclei, and the latter in the vermis and the fastigial nuclei (Schmahmann et al., 2007). The ¡°dysmetria of thought,¡± following damage to the cognitive cerebellum (Schmahmann, 1998) and the neuropsychiatric impairments, following damage to the limbic cerebellum (Schmahmann et al., 2007) comprise the so called ¡°cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome¡± (Schmahmann and Sherman, 1998). These findings have recently renewed interest in a cerebellar pathophysiology of a broad range of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders (e.g. Hoppenbrouwers et al., 2008; Lupo et al., 2019; Van Overwalle et al., 2020).
