Abstract

The role of the cerebellum in neuropsychiatric disorders, and in neurodevelopmental disorders in particular, has commonly been understudied. Unlike neuroimaging techniques that allow for detailed analyses of cerebral (1), subcortical (2), and allocortical (3) morphologies, there are comparatively fewer methodologies for studying cerebellar phenotypes. Given the late development of the cerebellum compared with other brain structures, one could reasonably predict that its morphology may be altered in the course of development, and that these alterations may ultimately act as a signpost for observable neurodevelopmental variation in disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
