The importance of the cerebellum in basic as well as higher order domains of affect processing in the brain has been vividly elaborated and specified by the contributions collected in this book. Indeed, according to increasingly precise research findings in functional neuroimaging and functional neurophysiology, individually delineable areas of the cerebellum play a role in virtually all process levels of the responsible networks of emotion perception, attribution, and experience via a variety of reciprocal connections to the limbic system and distinct areas of the parietal, temporal, and prefrontal cortex. The works in this book identify alternative perspectives in neuroscience research that offer new directions in future investigations. Important aspects will be to pin down the precise cerebellar processes in multiple sensory integration and allocation in cognitive and affective evaluation, and also cognitive-affective as well as motor behavioral responses. In this context, imaging and electrophysiological techniques will highlight the spatial and temporal, and thus the topographic and topological, specificities of the cerebellar areas to the respective networks. In the final chapter, questions and suggestions for future neuroscientific investigations are identified, from whose developments several fields of neurological and psychological disciplines could benefit in order to open up therapeutic avenues for people with cerebellar disorders.
小脑在大脑的基本和更高阶情感处理领域的重要性，在这本书所收录的贡献中得到了生动的阐述和具体说明。事实上，根据功能神经影像学和功能神经生理学越来越精确的研究发现，小脑的各个可区分区域通过与边缘系统和顶叶、颞叶和前额叶的不同区域的各种相互连接，在情感感知、归因和体验的负责网络的几乎所有过程水平上都发挥作用。这本书中的作品确定了神经科学研究中的替代视角，为未来的研究提供了新的方向。重要的方面将是确定小脑在认知和情感评估中的多感觉整合和分配以及认知情感和运动行为反应中的精确过程。在这种情况下，成像和电生理学技术将突出小脑区域对各自网络的空间和时间，因此也是地形和拓扑的特异性。在最后一章中，确定了未来神经科学研究的问题和建议，从这些发展中，神经学和心理学的几个领域将受益，以开辟治疗小脑障碍患者的途径。
