Résumé : During the past few decades, the role of the cerebellum in behavioral, cognitive, and affective processes has evolved from a mere afterthought to an exciting area of innovative research across disciplines. Advances in the understanding of the neuroanatomy of the cerebellum and its reciprocal connections with the supratentorial brain regions subserving cognition, behavior, and affect combined with evidence from functional neuroimaging studies, neurophysiological research data, and clinical neuropsychological findings have radically redefined the traditional view on the cerebellum as a sole coordinator of sensorimotor function to that of a universal modulator of cognitive and affective processes.
