In recent years, there has been tremendous growth in research on cerebellar motor and non-motor functions. Cerebellum is particularly involved in the spectrum of neurodevelopmental diseases. The 8th International Symposium of the Society for Research on the Cerebellum and Ataxia (SRCA) was held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, (Canada) on May 24-26, 2017. The main theme of the 8th International Symposium was "Development of the Cerebellum and Neurodevelopmental Disorders." Advances in genetics, epigenetic, cerebellar neurogenesis, axonogenesis and gliogenesis, cerebellar developmental disorders including autism spectrum disorders (ASD), neuroimaging, cerebellar ataxias, medulloblastoma, and clinical investigation of cerebellar diseases were presented. The goal of this symposium was to provide a platform to discuss cutting-edge knowledge while allowing researchers and trainees the opportunity to share and discuss their front-line research and ideas with others in the field, make connections, and strengthen international collaborations. The Ferdinando Rossi lecture was delivered by Dr. Richard Hawkes on the topic of patterning of the cerebellar cortex. This symposium emphasized the major importance of the involvement of the cerebellum in neurodevelopmental diseases from the clinical, radiological, biological, and genetic standpoint.
近年来，关于小脑运动和非运动功能的研究有了巨大的发展。小脑尤其与一系列神经发育疾病有关。第八届小脑与共济失调研究协会（SRCA）国际研讨会于2017年5月24日至26日在加拿大马尼托巴省温尼伯市举行。第八届国际研讨会的主题是“小脑发育与神经发育障碍”。会议展示了遗传学、表观遗传学、小脑神经发生、轴突发生和胶质发生方面的进展，包括自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）在内的小脑发育障碍、神经影像学、小脑共济失调、髓母细胞瘤以及小脑疾病的临床研究。本次研讨会的目标是提供一个平台，以讨论前沿知识，同时让研究人员和学员有机会与该领域的其他人员分享和讨论他们的前沿研究及想法，建立联系并加强国际合作。费迪南多·罗西讲座由理查德·霍克斯博士主讲，主题是小脑皮质的模式形成。本次研讨会从临床、放射学、生物学和遗传学角度强调了小脑在神经发育疾病中的重要作用。
