Abstract
The traditional view of the cerebellum as the sole coordinator of sensorimotor function has been substantially redefined during the past decades. Neuroanatomical, neuroimaging and clinical studies have extended the role of the cerebellum to the modulation of cognitive, affective and social processing. Neuroanatomical studies have demonstrated cerebellar connectivity with the supratentorial association areas involved in higher cognitive, affective and social functioning, while functional neuroimaging and clinical studies have provided evidence of cerebellar involvement in a variety of cognitive, affective and social tasks. This chapter provides an overview of the recently acknowledged role of the cerebellum in speech and language processing.
