Cerebellum
Abstract
The cerebellum has a remarkably uniform structure, but shows highly diverse connectivity. In this lecture, I review cerebellar organization from gross anatomical divisions, to lobular and sub-lobular organization, to cell types and circuitry. I then describe cerebellar function, focussing on classical studies of the cerebellum and the models of cerebellar function these studies gave rise to, but also discuss recent evidence regarding cerebellar cognition.

The cerebellum holds most of the brain’s neurons, yet we still don’t know what it does for thought, language, or emotion. I build precise maps of it and use brain stimulation to find out.
