The cerebellum is a subcortical brain structure that is essential for learning and controlling movement. Recent work shows that the cerebellum also plays a role in certain perceptual abilities, beyond what would be expected secondary to poor movement control. This review covers these and other recent advances, focusing on how cerebellar damage affects human abilities ranging from sensory perception to movement control and motor learning.
小脑是大脑皮层下的一个结构,对于学习和控制运动至关重要。最近的研究表明,小脑在某些感知能力方面也发挥着作用,超出了因运动控制不良而导致的预期作用。本文综述了这些以及其他最近的进展,重点讨论了小脑损伤如何影响人类从感觉知觉到运动控制和运动学习的各种能力。
